“Nati= onal roads are vital to the country’s economy and tolling is one of the = options the South African government chose to ensure that the road network is maintained to the highest possible standard,” says Coy.<= /span>

Roads need continuous maintenance and upgrading to ensure that the infrastructure is= kept in a satisfactory and safe condition. For the duration of its Concession Contract, TRAC is monitored and measured to ensure that it delivers on its mandate as agreed in the contract.

“TRAC= places a high value on its partnership with the State and the communities it ser= ves and will continue with its efforts to provide a road of high standards fr= om Pretoria to Maputo,” ends Coy.
