SCROLL

SANRAL’s key financial information reflects the Agency’s performance and fiscal health during the reporting year 2022/23.

We spend a significant portion of our income on construction and maintenance projects on both toll and non-toll roads.

Toll road expenditure

Expenditure on toll roads comprises spending on capital projects, maintenance of existing roads and other operating procedures. In addition to this, SANRAL’s tolled roads also incur a number of financial costs. In 2023, SANRAL allocated a higher budget for road maintenance compared to the previous two years, while reducing capital expenditure, finance costs and expenditure on other operations.
