North Coast Road (Java)

The North Coast Road (Indonesian: Jalur Pantai Utara (Jalur Pantura)) is a 1,430-kilometre (889-mile) road, that connects Cilegon and Banyuwangi along the northern coast of Java, particularly between Jakarta and Surabaya.

Most of Java's north coast road was built during the reign of governor-general Herman Willem Daendels (1808–1811) and was originally known as the Great Post Road (Indonesian: Jalan Raya Pos Dutch: De Grote Postweg).
