A part of the Trans-Java Toll Road network, the highway links Jakarta with cities to its east in the province of West Java.

Its 36.84 kilometer-long Cikunir–West Karawang section overlaps with the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Skyway.

[4] Rest area In Jakarta–Cikampek Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road is nominated as the most congested highway in Indonesia, especially in the area of Cikunir JCT- Bekasi Barat (although half of the expressway is 8-lanes dual carriageway (KM0-KM37) and another half is 6 lanes (KM37-KM73).

By the completion of the Jakarta-Cikampek Elevated Tollway spanning 36.45 kilometres (22.65 mi) from Cikunir to West Karawang, the capacity is expanded and congestion is slightly decreasing along this stretch (another stretch after Karawang Barat eastbound is, unfortunately, more congested.)

As of 2021, the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road is surrounded [clarification needed] by 2 main projects which are under construction : LRT Cawang-Bekasi Timur (north section, KM0-KM18, under construction) and Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (south section, KM0-KM38).
