The Daendels Road (in Bekasi)
The Great Post Road was a military road which
was built during the reign of governor-general of the Dutch East Indies Herman
Willem Daendels (1808–1811) and was originally known as the Great Post Road.
the road was intended to ease military support, e.g. transfer of soldiers, in
order to defend Java from possible British invasion. It connects Anyer in
western end and Panarukan in eastern end of Java. After Daendels rule, the
eastern road was later extended to Banyuwangi. The Java Great Post Road consist
the most parts of present Java North Coast Road. However the original road is
runs through Preanger (Priangan, West Java) highland, from Meester Cornelis
(Jatinegara) went south to Buitenzorg (Bogor), and went east to Cianjur,
Bandung, Sumedang, and Cirebon. The current north coast road runs through
coastal northern West Java which built later after the construction of
Daendels' post road. It connects Bekasi, Karawang, Pamanukan, and Cirebon.
Most of today national road network in Java was
built during Dutch East Indies era. However during Suharto era around 1980s,
the toll road network system was introduced within the whole Java
transportation network. The Java toll network highway is continuously expanded,
and today some of these toll roads formed Java north coast road.
