# Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy has welcomed the Cabinet’s decision to allow the South African National Roads Agency Limited to implement the closure of the historical debt linked to the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project. The write-off of outstanding debt gives effect to the government’s April 2024 decision to close the e-toll scheme. Road users who lawfully paid e-tolls when the system was in force will, however, not be refunded. Creecy says this long-awaited decision brings much-needed relief and lessens the financial burden to road users.
