R700 (South Africa)

The R700's northern terminus is a junction with the R59 route at Hoopstad (just south of the R59's Vet River bridge; which provides access to the town centre).[1] It begins by running south-south-east for 53 km to the town of Bultfontein, where it meets the south-western terminus of the R710 route and continues southwards via a right turn.[1] It bypasses Bultfontein to the west and reaches a junction with the R708 route.[1] The R708 joins the R700 for 1.8 km southwards before the R708 becomes its own road eastwards while the R700 remains facing southwards.[1]

From Bultfontein, the R700 heads southwards for 46 km to reach a junction with the R703 route near the town of Soutpan.[1] The R703 joins the R700 southwards for 1.2 km, bypassing Soutpan to the east, before the R703 becomes its own road eastwards while the R700 continues southwards.[1] From Soutpan, the R700 continues southwards for 40 km, through the eastern part of the Soetdoring Nature Reserve (where it crosses the Modder River), to reach a junction with the N1 Highway (Bloemfontein Western Bypass) and enter the city of Bloemfontein.[1] It proceeds southwards to end in Bloemfontein Central at an intersection with the N8 National Route.[2]
