Cape Town - The City of Cape Town is expected to return to the Western Cape High Court on Thursday to resolve an ongoing dispute over the proposed N1/N2 Winelands Toll Highway Project.
On Wednesday, Transport mayoral committee member Brett Herron said it would approach Deputy Judge President Jeanette Traverso for a procedural directive.
The directive was about the SA National Roads Agency Limited's (Sanral) alleged refusal to hand over documents which formed part of its decision-making process in the project despite a court order compelling it do so.
In May, the high court granted the city an interim interdict preventing Sanral from implementing or advancing the toll project, including the conclusion of any contract or commencement of construction.
The interim relief was granted pending the court's review of Sanral's decision to implement the toll project. The review date has yet to be determined.
Herron said Sanral had failed to hand over important documents about the proposed project.
The proposed concession route along the N1 extends from west of the R300 interchange through to Sandhills. The N2 portion of the proposed toll road concession extends from west of the R300 to Bot River.
About 180km of highway in the province will be tolled should the project go ahead.
