Question NW906 to the Minister of Transport
09 April 2018 - NW906
Nolutshungu, Ms N to ask the Minister of Transport
With reference to the N2 Wild Coast Toll Road, how is the South African National Roads Agency Limited currently funding its work given that the first allocation of R1 billion according to the budget review will only be available after 1 April 2019?
Reply:
The upgrading of the existing section of the N2 Wild Coast Road East London and Port St Johns via Mthatha is being funded through the existing SANRAL non toll MTEF budget allocation and will not be a toll road.
The 2 mega bridges, Mtentu and Msikaba, are also being funded from confirmed SANRAL non toll budget allocations.
The new greenfield section of the N2 Wild Coast Road, which is still at design stage will be atoll scheme funded through a hybrid model comprising public non-toll funds and private funds. The non-toll budget allocation of R1billion has already been made in the 2019/20 MTEF budget allocation.
