The construction of the Sigli–Banda Aceh Toll Road, particularly Section-1 (Padang Tiji–Seulimum), as part of Indonesia’s National Strategic Projects, is crucial for improving regional connectivity and economic development. However, delays in its implementation pose significant challenges. This research was conducted to analyze the key risk factors contributing to project delays, formulate the core problems, and propose mitigation strategies that can benefit stakeholders involved in similar large-scale infrastructure developments. The study aims to identify the types of risks affecting the project timeline and assess their impact and likelihood. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used. Data were collected through field observations, document reviews, and interviews with project stakeholders, including contractors, consultants, and government representatives. The analysis involved the use of the Probability Impact Matrix to evaluate risk severity and Fault Tree Analysis to trace root causes of delays. Results show that the most significant risk factors include delays in land acquisition, shortage of construction materials, and adverse weather conditions. Contractual ambiguities and design-related changes also contribute to schedule disruptions. The research highlights the importance of early risk identification, continuous monitoring, and adaptive risk management strategies. These findings offer practical recommendations to enhance project planning and execution in future infrastructure initiatives.
