- R55 (Gauteng)
The R55 is a north-south Regional Route in
South Africa that connectsPretoria withSandton .It passes
Woodmead ,Kyalami ,Olivenhoutbosch ,Heuweloord ,Sunderland Ridge ,Erasmia ,Laudium /Claudius, West Park, theDaspoort Tunnel and Danville.It connects with the M1, N14, and R80 highways.
Although parts of the road in Johannesburg were widened in
2005 , other single-lane sections of the Road, especially in Centurion, between the Monavoni Circle near Heuweloord, and Erasmia, were in a dangerous state, due to the high volumes of traffic and presence of heavy vehicles causing the road surface to deteriorate. Expected renovation of the road is due to begin during the latter part of 2007, where it is anticipated a dual carriageway will be built.
