Route
[edit]Its north-eastern terminus is the N3 at Howick. It initially runs south-west, along the southern shore of Midmar Dam. It wends west-south-west passing through Bulwer. Just after Bulwer, it intersects with the northern terminus of the R612. After that intersection, it heads west to the town of Underberg. Passing through Underberg, it leaves to the west before wending first south-south-west then west to reach Franklin. South of Franklin, the route ends in Kokstad at an intersection with the R56.[1]
