Including the R9,95 billion raised without a guarantee, SANRAL has now raised R11,45 billion of funding for the expansion and upgrade of toll roads, particularly the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project which is planned to be completed by late 2010. It has also recently concluded a loan from the European Investment Bank which will also be used towards funding the project.
