R21 (Gauteng)

The R21 is a major north-south regional route in eastern Gauteng Province, South Africa. The R21 links the Pretoria city centre with OR Tambo International Airport and Boksburg. Between the Hans Strijdom Road on-ramp in Monument Park, Pretoria, and the N12 in Boksburg, the R21 is a dual carriageway and motorway (freeway). It has offramps leading to Irene, Olifantsfontein, Benoni, and Kempton Park. The road intersects the N1 Eastern Pretoria Bypass near Centurion, the R24 near the airport, the N12 and N17 in Boksburg, and the N3 near Vosloorus on the East Rand, where it ends.

Although the road was a two lane (in either direction) motorway between Pretoria and Kempton Park, roadworks completed in mid-2005 increased the number of lanes between the Pomona Road on-ramp and the Voortrekker Road (airfreight) on-ramp, and created a new interchange at Atlas Road in Kempton Park [http://www.gautrans.co.za/k90portal/] .
