On northern and the eastern section, the toll road is grade-separated with the Sosrobahu road construction technique (also used in the Metro Manila Skyway and one half of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Skyway).

The toll road is operated by PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, a state-owned enterprise, and PT Citra Marga Nushapala Persada Tbk (CMNP) (IDX: CMNP), founded by the Suharto family which is also the initiator of the Metro Manila Skyway.

This road would connect the Semanggi cloverleaf interchange all the way to the port Tanjung Priok.

Construction of Jakarta Bypass was funded using the United States financial assistant and was completed in 1963.

[2][3] Jakarta Bypass also enabled the growth of new suburbs of Cempaka Putih, Pulo Mas, Senen, Rawamangun and Salemba.
