N3TC is responsible for designing, constructing, financing, operating and maintaining the section of N3 Route – from November 1999, when the contract began, until it ends in 2029. The N3 Toll Route concession agreement is one of the country’s most successful public-private sector partnerships.
The N3 Toll Route begins in the KwaZulu-Natal province, at the Cedara interchange, and ends in the Gauteng province, at the Heidelberg South interchange.
