Indonesia is one of the world's fastest growing economies in the world. The backbone of this economic progress is driven by infrastructure development, in which consists of "hard infrastructure" (such as roads, railways, electricity supply) and "soft infrastructure" (such as human capital, social welfare, health care). These infrastructure projects are crucial to sustain Indonesia's long-term growth. However, investment in road construction is a top priority on government's agenda in order to accelerate economic growth and to facilitate the efficient movement of goods. Infrastructure comes in numerous forms and affects economic growth through many pathways that can be inferred from the fact that infrastructure development, especially new road construction can reduce the cost of production through improvements in connectivity and transportation networks, improving access to key facilities and lowering the cost of bring production to market.
