Route
The ring road was opened in late 2020[3] and cost an estimated R800 million.[4][5] The ring road is part of the N1 freeway. It begins at the N1 and R101 split (south-west of the city centre), and runs north-east around Polokwane. It 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]
