Pantura national highway or Route 1 in Indonesia is one of the important routes which drive the most economic movement in Indonesia. For years this route suffering over dimensions and overloading phenomena causing serious early failure to it’s pavement. Republic Indonesia government recently built the Trans Java Toll Road connecting Java island with a toll road from west to east, the initial route is Cipali (Cikampek to Palimanan) Toll Road Section as long 116 km which officially opened on 13^th of June 2015. One of Cipali Toll Road Section aims is to move the most traffic from Pantura highway to Cipali Toll Road to reduce the Pantura highway burden. This research aimed to find out the impact of the Trans Java Toll especially Cipali Section to Pantura National Highway Pavement Service Life. The Liddle’s formula used with k–factor = 1 for single axles, 0.086 and 0.031 for tandem and tridem axles to get the CESA between before the toll existence and after the toll existence. The findings are that Trans Java toll road reduce Pantura national road (route 1) traffic as much 180.818 PCU, and the Trans Java toll presence road help Pantura national road (route 1) back to it’s designed CESA.
