N2 road

The N2 road extends for 2,255 kilometers from Cape Town to Ermelo, connecting major cities through coastal landscapes and inland regions.

Construction of the N2 began in the 1970s as part of South Africa's national route system, modeled after the United States Interstate Highway network.

The route passes through diverse communities and regions, from the Western Cape through the Eastern Cape to KwaZulu-Natal, connecting different population groups.

Regular toll stations operate along the N2, requiring travelers to carry cash or electronic payment methods for fees at multiple collection points.

The road crosses the Bloukrans Bridge, which stands as one of the highest concrete arch bridges in Africa, spanning a deep river gorge.
