N4 toll road upgrade project, South Africa and Mozambique
Name and Location
N4 toll road upgrade project, South Africa and Mozambique.
Client
Trans African Concessions (Trac).
Project Description
The contract involves the upgrade of the strategically vital N4 toll road connecting South Africa with Mozambique.
The N4 toll road stretches for 570 km from the Solomon Mahlangu offramp, near Pretoria, in Gauteng, to the Port of Maputo, in Mozambique, and includes six toll plazas.
Trac has awarded Murray & Roberts Infrastructure a 22-month contract for upgrade work on the road.
The scope of work focuses on the section of the N4 near Middelburg, just east of the Rockdale interchange, and ends just west of the Arnot interchange. It involves increasing the carrying capacity of an 18 km section of the toll road by constructing a new double-lane eastbound carriageway and associated infrastructure, such as a bridge overpass at the Klein Olifants river and various other structures, as well as the rehabilitation and reconfiguration of the existing section of the N4 into a new three-lane westbound carriageway.
This section of the N4 is a build, operate and transfer toll road, owned by South Africa and Mozambique, with both countries reassuming responsibility for the project once Trac’s 30-year concession expires in 2027.
The contract includes the construction of a new bridge, the extension of an existing bridge, minor rehabilitation to existing bridges and construction of six large on-site culverts and associated drainage works.
