Gauteng: Freight Ring Concept
Gauteng is at the centre of most regional and port connections in Southern AfricaGauteng is at the centre of most regional and port connections in Southern Africa
Flows are complex and there are no clear bypass routes
A freight ring can potentially -
l d fl f f hFacilitate uninterrupted flow of freight
Provide a key link between Hubs and Terminals
Provide dedicated freight routes segregated from congested PRASA routes.

The eventual freight ring will not be closedThe eventual freight ring will not be closed on the western side because no feasible
route was found. Instead, a bypass further west connecting Rustenburg,
Swartruggens, Lichtenburg and Mafikeng is proposed but only if volumes justify the p p y j y
investment.
