The R64 is a provincial route in South Africa that connects Kimberley with Bloemfontein via Boshof and Dealesville. It is slightly longer than the newer N8 route via Petrusburg, by about 10 kilometres. [1]
The R64 used to continue westwards from Kimberley through Griekwastad to Groblershoop. [2] That stretch of road is now part of the N8 route.
The R64 begins at an interchange with the N1 highway ( Bloemfontein Western Bypass) and the N8 national route in Bloemfontein (Capital of the Free State), just west of the city centre. [3] It begins by heading north-west for 31 kilometres to cross the Modder River adjacent to the Krugersdrift Dam and Soetdoring Nature Reserve. [3] It continues north-west for another 30 kilometres, exiting the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, to meet the western terminus of the R703 road and enter the town of Dealesville. [3]
In Dealesville central, it turns west at the Brand Street junction and heads 18 kilometres to meet the south-western terminus of the R59 road. [3] It proceeds westwards for 36 kilometres to enter the town of Boshof. [3]
From Boshof, the R64 heads west-south-west for 52 kilometres to cross into the Northern Cape and enter the city of Kimberley (Capital of the Northern Cape). [3] It makes a left turn at the Hull Street junction and proceeds to end at an intersection with the N12 and N8 national routes in the Kimberley city centre. [3]
