In July 1996 the governments of Mozambique and South Africa signed a framework agreement for the development of the Maputo Corridor, which included an ancillary agreement for the establishment of a toll road between the two countries.
In May 1997, a concession was awarded to Trans Africa Concessions (TRAC) to build and operate a toll road between Witbank in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa and Maputo. Those negotiations reached financial closure seven months later, in December 1997. In March 1998, TRAC took over control of the N4 national road from the South African National Roads Agency (NRA), with SNA Civil & Structural Engineers (Pty) Ltd being appointed as lead consulting engineers.
