R75 (South Africa)

The R75 begins at the intersection with the R102 (Govan Mbeki Road) in Sydenham, just north of the Port Elizabeth city centre and heads in a north-westerly direction as Commercial Road. It intersects with the N2 in the suburb of Korsten. After crossing the N2, it becomes Uitenhage Road.

It goes through the large township of Ibhayi and leaves the built up area of Port Elizabeth before intersecting with the R367 at an interchange south-east of Despatch, adjacent to the Azalea Park suburb. Here, the R75 and the R367 switch roads, with the R367 becoming the northwards road (Uitenhage Road) and the R75 becoming the road westwards, becoming a dual-carriageway freeway.

It bypasses Despatch Central to the south and then turns northwards to intersect with the R367 again at an interchange north-west of Despatch. It enters the eastern part of Uitenhage and then stops being a dual-carriageway freeway north of Uitenhage. Soon after that, it leaves the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality.

After leaving the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, it enters the Sarah Baartman District Municipality (previously Cacadu District Municipality), heading in north-north-west direction and then heading north-west. It intersects with the R336 to Kirkwood and goes through Kleinpoort. Shortly after Kleinpoort it intersects with the R329 to Willowmore and heads in a northerly direction. It intersects with the R400 (to Riebeek East and Makhanda) and heads north-west again going through Jansenville. In Jansenville it meets with the R339 (to Klipplaat) and heads north-east and then meets with the R337 (to Cradock) and heads north-north-west again to Graaff-Reinet. It then ends at an intersection with the R63 approximately 23 kilometres south of Graaff-Reinet.[1][2][3][4][5]
