Route

The Ring Road was opened in late 2020[3] and cost an estimated R800 million.[4][5] The Ring Road is fully formed by the N1 freeway. It begins at the N1 and R101 split (south-west of the city centre), and runs North East around Polokwane. It then crosses the R37, then the R71 and finally the R81.[6][2] The ring road then comes to an end at the N1 and R101 merge (north of the city centre). This forms the half Ring Road around Polokwane.[7][8]
