The document proposes improvements to the Gauteng freeway network in South Africa, including upgrading sections to 4-6 lanes per direction, improving 7 systems interchanges and 21 access interchanges, adding auxiliary lanes and median lighting. The improvements will be financed through open road tolling without physical toll plazas using electronic toll collection to minimize delays. Construction is scheduled to commence in May 2008, be substantially completed by May 2010 and fully completed by October 2010, with toll operations beginning then. Implementation challenges include availability of skills and materials as well as risks from traffic, labor actions and resulting higher construction costs.
