The borrower was expected to use the proceeds of the loan to finance commercial contracts with Beijing Urban Construction Group Co Ltd (BUCG), PowerChina, and China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). The purpose of the project is to construct a toll road that connects Semarang with Demak in Java, Indonesia.

The 24.7km (15.3 mi) toll road will act as a complement to the Trans-Java Toll Road. The toll road seeks to increase accessibility and road network in the northern parts of Java.

The toll road will be integrated with a sea dike at the northern beach of Semarang City, all the way until the Sayung River at Demak Regency.

The goal of constructing this toll road is to minimize congestion along the Semarang–Demak-Surabaya northern coast road of Java and also to the tourist cities in Demak (namely, Kadilangu/Sunan Kalijaga Tomb and Demak Great Mosque). Another goal of the project is to overcome tidal flooding along the northern coast as a retaining sea wall guarder.

The toll road is divided into two sections. Section 1 is 10.69 km and it runs from Semarang to Sayung. Section 2 is 16.31 km and it runs from Sayung to Demak.

Beijing Urban Construction Group Co Ltd (BUCG) is the general EPC contractor responsible for implementation for the Semarang-Demak Toll Road 1A Project. It has hired PT Hutama Karya (Persero) — an Indonesian state-owned company — as a subcontractor. CRBC is the general EPC contractor responsible for implementation for the Semarang-Demak Toll Road 1B Project.

It has hired PT Wijaya Karya Tbk (Wika) and PT PP Tbk (PTPP) — two Indonesian state-owned firms — as subcontractors.

Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) is the general EPC contractor responsible for implementation for the Semarang-Demak Toll Road 1C Project. It hired PT Adhi Karya Persero (an Indonesian state-owned company) as a subcontractor. By May 2024, the project had achieved a 9.25% completion rate and it was on track for completion in February 2027.

Section 2 running from Sayung to Demak was inaugurated on February 25, 2023.

  1. This project is also known as the Development of Semarang-Demak Toll Road Project Integrated with Sea Dike. The Chinese project title is 印度尼西亚三宝垄-德玛克高速公路项目 or 印尼三宝垄-德马克海堤公路项目.
  2. One source (https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/592228797 and https://new.qq.com/rain/a/20221216A02GKX00) refers to a China Eximbank loan agreement being signed on December 12, 2022 for the Semarang-Demak Toll Road 1B Project. It is unclear if this loan agreement is separate from and additional to the loan agreement that was signed on November 18, 2022. This issue warrants further investigation.
