    The document proposes improvements to freeways and interchanges in Gauteng, South Africa. Key aspects include upgrading freeways to 4-6 lanes per direction, improving 7 systems interchanges and 21 access interchanges, adding auxiliary lanes, and providing median lighting. The project will be financed through user tolling without physical toll plazas using electronic collection. Construction is slated to begin in May 2008 with completion by October 2010, when toll operations will commence. Challenges include ensuring availability of skills, materials, and managing traffic and labor risks.
