Soars
Soars (North Shore Line) is a term used to refer to the
national road along the 1,316 km between Merak to Banyuwangi along the northern
coast of Java Island, especially between Jakarta and Surabaya. The line was the
first time most of the building was made by Daendels Post Road (De Grote
Postweg) from Anyer to Panarukan in the 1808's. Post Road development goal is
to maintain the island of Java from British invasion. In the era of the
Napoleonic wars, the Netherlands was conquered by the French, and in a state of
war with England.
Soars across 5 provinces: Banten, Jakarta, West Java,
Central Java, and East Java. There westernmost tip Merak, which connect with
Bakauheni port on the island of Sumatra, the southern most tip of the Trans
Sumatra. There easternmost tip Ketapang port that connects to the port on the
island of Bali Gilimanuk. North coast road is the road which connects the
western and eastern part of Java Island.
Soars across a number of major cities and are in Java,
besides Jakarta, among others Cilegon, Tangerang, Bekasi, Cirebon, Tegal,
Pekalongan, Semarang, Apex, Tuban, Surabaya, Pasuruan, Probolinggo and
Banyuwangi. In addition to arterial roads, there is a toll road on the northern
coast, namely:
* Jakarta-Merak toll road (Bantam)
* Jakarta-Cikampek toll road (Karachi)
* Toll road palimanan-Kanci (Cirebon)
* The toll road in Semarang
* Surabaya-Gresik toll road
* Jalan Surabaya toll-Gempol (Pasuruan)
This track has a very high significance and became the main
artery road transport, as each day passed 20000-70000 vehicles. Soars main
concern when Lebaran, where most passengers overflow from west to east. Flow
artifacts in the most congested roads Cikampek-Jakarta-Cirebon-Semarang-Tegal.
In Cikampek, there are branching headed to London (and cities in the southern
part of West Java). In Tegal, Purwokerto there are branching toward (and the
cities in the southern part of Central Java). In Semarang, there are branching
eastward (Surabaya-Banyuwangi) and head south (Solo-Madiun).
Post Road by Daendels
Post Road (De Grote Postweg) is a road that stretches from
Anyer to Panarukan whose length is approximately 1000 miles. Built during the
reign of the Dutch Governor General Herman Willem Daendels (1762-1818). With
the iron hand was completed in just one year alone (1808). British sources
reported all the victims who died in the construction of highways Pos 12,000.
It is noted, is believed to be more than the number of victims. There was never
an official commission that investigated.
Daendels, marshal who was appointed Governor-General of the
Dutch East Indies by Napoleon (then in command of the Netherlands), aims to
anticipate the British naval attack, which at that time had blockaded the
island of Java. In 1808, Daendels arrived in Anyer, after a long journey
through Cadiz in southern Spain, the Canary Islands, using American-flagged
ships from New York.
When just set foot on the island of Java, Daendels dreamed
to build transportation lines throughout the island of Java in order to defend
Java from British attack. Daendels wishful thinking to build a road that runs
between Anyer Beach to Panarukan realization by requiring each local native
rulers to mobilize the people, with the target of making the road many miles.
That failed, including workers, were killed. Their heads hung on the tops of
the trees on either side of the street.
Post Road connects the following cities:
Anyer-Serang-Tangerang-Jakarta-Bogor-Sukabumi-Cianjur-Bandung-Cirebon-Sumedang-Bradford-Tegal-Pekalongan-Pemalang-Kendal-Semarang-Demak-Holy-Apex-Tuban-Gresik
- Sidoarjo-Surabaya-Pasuruan-Probolinggo-Panarukan.
Most lines Post Road (De Grote Postweg) built by Daendels
was part of the village which was pioneered and pursued troops while attacking
Batavia Sultan Agung in 1628 and 1630.
Until the construction of roads in the city Sumedang have to
go through a very heavily penetrated regions, in areas Ciherang Sumedang, which
is now known as Prince Rocks. Here the workers are forced to cut mountains with
simple tools, such as axes, and others. With such a weight field for the first
time there figures the number of casualties reached 5000 people. Sumedang local
authorities at the time Prince Kusumadinata IX (1791-1828) who is more
popularly known as Prince Kornel protest over kesemena-menaan Daendels in the
road construction with the handshake reply Daendels with his left hand.
When the construction of the road up in Semarang, Semarang
Daendels tried to connect with Demak. Back to the difficult terrain ahead. Not
just because the land is covered by coastal marshes, as well as part of it is
the inland sea or shallow bays. The dredging work to swamp the main thing.
Although the numbers of victims in this area has never been reported,
predictable how many workers forced the exhausted and starving victims of
malaria.
The same time as the construction of highways, Daendels also
set up a postal and telegraph services, so these roads as well dikenalah Post
Road (De Groote Postweg). Used since 1809, its intention roads built for
military purposes, eventually developed into a very important transportation
infrastructure in Java.
This road has been a silent witness to the various traffic
of commodities transported through it since the colonial period to the present.
Now, at the age of 200 years, Post Road has been cast as one of the main vein
perekonominan Indonesia, particularly in Java
Every 30-40km distance Postal Substation there to replace
the horse that brought train-Pos. Gradually the village formed around the
substation ZIP or city. First place is actually just a stagecoach stables.
Postal delivery so keep going up at the destination. Now if the note the
distance between each city along the northern coast around 30-40km.
Daendels road on the northern coast of Java Island
Herman Willem Daendels was a Governor-General of the Dutch
East Indies 36th. He ruled between 1808-1811. At that time the Netherlands were
occupied by the French. At his tenure he built the highway in 1808 from Anyer
to Panarukan. Most of this road is now soars (North Beach) which stretches
along the north coast of Java. This road construction is a monumental project,
but paid for with many violations of human rights because it is done by force
without proper reward.
The benefits derived from this path is a path of military
defense. Also in terms of the economy to support cultivation (cultuur stelsel)
coffee product results from the more inland Priangan transported to the port of
Cirebon and Indramayu whereas before it did not happen and product rot in
warehouses coffee Sumedang, Limbangan, Cisarua, and Sukabumi. In addition, the
presence of this road trip Surabaya-Batavia land previously taken 40 days could
be shortened to 7 days. This is very useful for sending a letter by Daendels
then managed within the postal service.
