Accessibility is a concept that combines a geographic or location and transport system, considered as an interaction between locations, which represents an implementation of transport development. Therefore, an accessibility index may be used as a proxy to assess regional cohesiveness. This paper evaluates the accessibility impact of new toll roads investment by location indicator measurement. Comparing the results between the regions that connected to the toll road, differences in accessibility value for each region indicate the regional cohesion effects derived from the new toll road investment.
