The National Route 11 (short- N11 ) is a South African national road , by Grobler's Bridge on the border with Botswana to the N3 at Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal runs.
Route
A regional road leads from Botswana, which branches off the A1 trunk road south of the village of Palapye to the Botswana border station Martin's Drift . Here a bridge leads over the Limpopo . From the South African border station Groblersbrug Border Post at Grobler's Bridge, the road connection continues as the N11 in a south-easterly direction through Limpopo to Mokopane , where it crosses the N1 . It then heads south and crosses the provincial border to Mpumalanga at Marble Hall and continues in a south-easterly direction to Ermelo , where it meets the N2 and the N17 . Then the road continues south and crosses the provincial border to KwaZulu-Natal near Volksrust .
The approximately 100 km long section between Ermelo and Volksrust is very busy with around 1000 trucks a day and is therefore in very poor condition. In KwaZulu-Natal the road continues south through Newcastle and Ladysmith and finally joins the N3 .
