The Cililitan-Tanjung Priok Road (Indonesian: Jalan Raya Cililitan-Tanjung Priok), also known as the Jakarta Bypass (old spelling: Djakarta Bypass) or simply Bypass, is a 27 km (17 mile) long bypass road in Jakarta, Indonesia that connects the Dewi Sartika Road and the Bogor Main Road (Jalan Raya Bogor, which is one of the sections of the Great Post Road/Jalan Raya Pos) in Cililitan, East Jakarta to the Port of Tanjung Priok in North Jakarta. The road is divided into four parts: Jalan Mayjen Sutoyo Road, Jalan D.I. Panjaitan, Jalan Jend. Ahmad Yani Road, and Jalan Laksamana Yos Sudarso. The bypass was inaugurated by the first President of Indonesia, Sukarno on October 21, 1963. One of the Jakarta Inner Ring Road sections is built over the road. The road purpose is to expedite travel from Tanjung Priok to the centre of Jakarta. It was the benchmark of the city's development in the east. It had an important role for creating the west–east axis roads of the city that had been dominated by north–south axis roads.
