The South African National Roads Agency Limited has come out fighting after the City of Cape Town took legal steps to stop a 10-billion-Rand proposed highway toll road project.

Sanral is adamant to continue with the project to toll sections of the N1and N2 in the city as of next year.

Sanral announced its preferred bidder in the project just a day after the City applied for a High Court interdict.

Sanral spokesperson Priya Pillay says they are disappointed with the City’s recent actions.

Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town says it is unacceptable that Sanral is proceeding with their plans despite the matter now going to court.

Councillor Brett Herron says Sanral’s refusal to acknowledge a dispute could result in careless spending.
