The imbalance between increasing vehicle volumes and road infrastructure development has triggered congestion escalation in urban central business areas. This study aims to evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of a 12.5-kilometer toll road development project and optimize construction costs through a Value Engineering approach. The analysis was conducted using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period indicators with a 30-year investment period. The initial analysis indicates that the project is financially feasible, with an NPV of IDR 450.2 billion, an IRR of 12.4%, and a BCR of 1.28. The implementation of Value Engineering through precast system optimization and material substitution resulted in construction cost savings of 14.2% or IDR 185 billion. After optimization, the NPV increased to IDR 635.7 billion, the IRR improved to 14.1%, the BCR reached 1.45, and the Payback Period was reduced to 11.8 years. The integration of economic evaluation and value engineering provides a more efficient and sustainable toll road development strategy. This approach can serve as a basis for urban infrastructure investment decision-making by considering technical, economic, and long-term risk aspects.
