Comparative Analysis of Cost and Time in the Implementation of Concrete Road Pavement and Asphalt Road Pavement on Road Sections Pilang-Sawocangkring, Sidoarjo Regency

Abstract

The Pilang-Sawocangkring road section in Wonoayu District, Sidoarjo, has been damaged by heavy vehicle traffic that has increased along with the growth of agricultural activities. To address this problem, a comparison was made between concrete and asphalt road pavements to determine an efficient construction solution in terms of cost and time, and to support long-term logistics distribution. The planning process requires field surveys, daily traffic data collection (LHR), road pit tests, and laboratory analysis of soil conditions. The flexible pavement design was calculated using the MDPJ 2017 method, while the rigid pavement was designed using the Pd T-14-2003 approach. Comparisons were made on layer thickness, estimated construction costs, and implementation duration at design ages of 10 and 30 years. The results of the analysis show a significant increase in ESA5 and JSKN values from 2035 to 2055, which requires a stronger road structure. The flexible pavement increased in thickness from 35 cm to 42 cm, while the rigid pavement increased from 34 cm to 38 cm. Although the implementation of concrete roads takes longer (97–104 days compared to 18–22 days for asphalt), the total cost of construction and long-term maintenance is much more economical, namely IDR 5.06–7.63 billion compared to IDR 9.49–19.17 billion for asphalt roads.
