Cibadak Description Jakarta From a
junction with the
Route 1 and old
Great Post Road in
Grogol,
West Jakarta, Route 2 runs
concurrently with Jl. S. Parman southeastward, parallel with
Grogol River until reaching Tomang Interchange some 1.5 km later. In this segment, the route passes many buildings and structures such as
Ciputra Mall,
Trisakti University,
Tarumanagara University,
Podomoro City, etc. Continuing 2.8 km southward, it interchanges with
Route 12 leading for
Bogor via
Parung near MPR/DPR/DPD Complex, the highest legislative institution in
Indonesia. The interchange also marks the complete entrance of the route into
Central Jakarta, before entering
South Jakarta two kilometers southeastward in Semanggi Interchange.
Western railway line parallel with Route 12 passes underneath the route. Route 2 also passes near
Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in this segment. After leaving Semanggi Interchange, the route proceeds southeastward for approximately 4.5 km. In this segment, Route 2 is carried by Jl. Gatot Subroto, and has one interchange with Jl. HR. Rasuna Said. The route is then carried by Jl. MT. Haryono after passing Pancoran Flyover, where a
statue is located nearby.
Southern railway line underpasses the route some 1.5 km eastward. In this segment, Route 2 passes many important
central business districts. After crossing over
Ciliwung River located 400 m east, Route 2 enters
East Jakarta. In Cawang Interchange, located 1.5 km east, Route 2 turns to the south, entering Jl. MayJend. Sutoyo near
Universitas Kristen Indonesia. Cawang Interchange also becomes the terminal point of
Route 13,
JaGorAwi, and
Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Roads. Most traffic between Jakarta and
Bogor takes the toll road due to congestion often occurred in Route 2. From this interchange southward, Route 2 runs concurrently with Great Post Road built by
Herman Willem Daendels and parallel with a
waterwork. In Cililitan Junction, located two kilometers southward, the route proceeds to the south as Jl. Raya Bogor, passing through the
subdistricts of
Kramat Jati,
Ciracas, and
Pasar Rebo. Route 2 interchanges with
Jakarta Outer Ring Road (Cinere-JaGorAwi segment) five kilometers southward. Upon leaving the interchange, Route 2 travels six kilometers before reaching West Java border located near
Infantry Battalion 201.
West Java In Depok City, the entire route initially runs in subdistrict of
Cimanggis. Near Bayer Factory, located 2.3 km south of Jakarta–West Java border, the two sides of Route 2 are split up between Cimanggis in the eastern side and
Sukmajaya in western side. That persists until reaching Cilodong Junction located 7.7 km southward, when the western side comes in
Cibinong, seat of
Bogor Regency, while the eastern side still belongs to
Depok. Route 2 entirely enters Bogor Regency some two kilometers southward. Continuing 3.7 km south, it curves to the southwest after leaving Nanggewer Mekar village, and enters Bogor City after crossing over
Ciluar River. Route 2 intersects with
Bogor Outer Ring Road Toll located 2.5 km southwest of Bogor northern limit, after which its alignment is turns to north-south direction. After the intersection, Route 2 is carried by Jl. KS. Tubun for 580 m, then by Jl. Raya Pajajaran after Warung Jambu Junction. It then reaches the downtown some 3.5 kilometers southward. It is where Bogor's most prominent landmark,
Bogor Botanical Gardens is located.
Bogor Agricultural University (Baranangsiang campus) and
Botani Square Mall are also located nearby. Not far from the landmarks, Route 2 intersects with Bogor Toll Plaza, located across Baranangsiang Bus Station, the largest bus station in
Bogor. In Sukasari, located two kilometers southeastward, Route 12, running concurrently with
Route 11 coming from
Rangkasbitung, converges with Route 2. The junction marks the southern terminus of Route 12, but Route 11 doesn't, it runs concurrently with Route 2 instead. Route 2 is then carried by Jl. Raya Tajur for five kilometers. After Ciawi Junction, Route 2 turns to the south. The junction also serves as the southernmost terminus of JaGorAwi Toll Road and the divergent point of Route 2 and Route 11; the latter proceeds eastward to Cianjur via
Puncak, following the path of Great Post Road. A
three-way junction in Warungnangka hamlet marks the complete entrance of the route into Bogor Regency; the route is previously divided between Bogor Regency in eastern side and Bogor City in western side. After encountering a junction in Tapos, located 700 m southward, Route 2 curves to the southwest, passing through mountainous area as it stretches on the slopes of
Mount Salak,
Mount Gede, and
Mount Pangrango. Route 2 turns southward in
Caringin, located 3.3 km later. Route 2 curves to the southwest three kilometers later in Cisempur hamlet. It later overpasses Southern railway line in
Cigombong 2.2 km later, near a three-way junction. Before that it passes near
Lake Lido. Within one kilometer southward, Route 2 enters
Sukabumi Regency. One kilometer later, the route curves to the west for one kilometer. It then proceeds south for 800 m, followed by a southwestward curving. It encounters a railway crossing in
Cicurug some 2.8 km later. Continuing 9.5 km south via curvaceous path, it overpasses the railway line in
Parung Kuda. Until reaching Downtown Cibadak, the railway still largely runs parallel with the route. After overcrossing
Cicatih River some 9.5 km southeastwards, Route 2 merges with
Route 3 coming from
Pelabuhan Ratu, seat of Sukabumi Regency. Route 3 succeeds Route 2 in going into Sukabumi City. ==References==
