Platinum Highway

The Platinum Highway is part of the N4, and a major South African highway built under concessions with a private contractor. In 2001, the project was voted Infrastructure Deal of the Year by Project Finance International Magazine.[1] It took eight years to complete. The highway is part of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor and links four African countries (Mozambique, South Africa, Botswana and Namibia) and two oceans (the Indian and Atlantic).[2] The contract had tougher concession terms than were seen in previous contracts.[3]
