Bandung has emerged from its past as a small plantation village in the Dutch Colonial Era to become one of the major metropolitan cities in Indonesia today. Along with other attractive factors, such as a beautiful landscape and pleasant weather, Bandung’s growing population has attracted more people to reside in Bandung. Increased numbers of settlers mean higher numbers of trips per day that results in heavy use of the local road systems. The Bandung Development and Research Agency reported that by 2017, there were 50 congestion points in almost every part of Bandung, especially in the morning and evening peak commuting hours. To overcome the problem, the Bandung local government built a flyover in one of the congestion points in the eastern section of Bandung, specifically, at the intersection of Jalan Jakarta and Jalan Kiaracondong. This study gathered evidence by investigating the cost-effectiveness of the flyover from the perspective of the local area residents. The quantitative approach used in this research focuses on descriptive statistics, spatial analysis, and correlation testing. Travel time and transport cost are two leading indicators in the research. The indicators’ gap value from before and after construction is converted into its monetary value, which forms the basis for calculating the impact of this infrastructure. The findings of this study are (i) the existence of a new flyover did not generate positive effects for the locals if measured by transport costs and travel time variables, and (ii) externalities occur in the form of an increase in annual value from those two variables.
