N3 Eastern Bypass (South Africa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The N3 Eastern Bypass is a section of the Johannesburg Ring Road that forms an orbital around the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. The freeway first opened in 1971. From the south, the Eastern Bypass begins at the Elands Interchange, where it merges with the N12 freeway. It ends at the Buccleuch Interchange, where it merges with the N1 and M1 freeways. Other interchanges include Rand Airport, Van Buuren, Gillooly's, Linksfield, Modderfontein, London Rd, and Marlboro.
The freeway is mostly four lanes wide in either direction, widening to six lanes in some places. The road has spawned significant growth in its vicinity, especially in the Modderfontein area, which has seen the construction of a hi-tech industrial park.
