The N11 is a National Route^[1] in South Africa, connecting the Botswana border at Grobler's Bridge with the N3 near Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal.

Route

From the border post at Grobler's Bridge, the N11 runs south-east through Limpopo province to Mokopane (where it meets the N1) and then southwards to enter Mpumalanga near Marble Hall. In Mpumalanga it continues south-east to Ermelo, where it meets the N17 and the eastern end of the N2. From Ermelo it runs south to enter KwaZulu-Natal at Volksrust. The 100 km section between Ermelo and Volksrust is arguably the worst road in South Africa, as it carries 1000 trucks a day and has a lot of potholes. In KwaZulu-Natal it continues south through Newcastle and then south-west through Ladysmith to end at the N3 freeway.
