Bali Mandara Toll Road or Nusa Dua-Ngurah Rai-Benoa Toll Road is a toll road carried by a bridge stretching across the Gulf of Benoa. The 8.3-kilometre (5.2 mi) highway connects the city of Denpasar and South Kuta, Badung Regency, Nusa Dua and Ngurah Rai International Airport. It cost Rp 2.48 Trillion (USD 220 million) to construct and was intended to prevent traffic jams on the Ngurah Rai Bypass Road, previously the only road connecting areas of Bali on opposite sites of the airport.[1] The Ngurah Rai Bypass Road, a land-based route, could not be widened because of the location of the airport runway; the new toll road was instead constructed over water.

Bali Mandara Toll Road began construction in March 2012 and was completed in October 2013. The road was officially opened on 23 September 2013 by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.[2] At the 2013 APEC Summit in Bali, the toll road was passed by several state leaders. The toll road undergone a beautification and other adjustments in preparation for the 2022 G20 Bali Summit.[3]

The toll road is managed by PT Jasamarga Bali Tol, a subsidiary of state-run PT Jasamarga [id], with support from Indonesia Port Corporation III, the governments of Bali Province and Badung Regency, Angkasa Pura I, Adhi Karya, Hutama Karya, Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation, and Wijaya Karya.
