Cape Town - The authorisation and record of decision giving the go-ahead for the construction of the N2 Wild Coast toll road, issued by the department of environmental affairs in December last year, has been set aside.

Environment Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk said: "Having taken into account legal advice, an independent reviewer's report, the department's response to the appeals, and the relevant appeals... the said decision and authorisation is hereby set aside."

However, appeals against the reconstruction and upgrading of the N2 between Tsitsikamma and Witelsbos were rejected, and the authorisation and record of decision, made on June 14 this year, was upheld by the minister.
