M27 (Pretoria)


The M27 road is a short metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa. It is in the city of Centurion, connecting Rooihuiskraal with Pierre van Ryneveld Park via the Centurion CBD and Lyttelton.

Route

The M27 begins in Rooihuiskraal North, at a junction with the M37 route. It begins by heading eastwards as Theuns van Niekerk Street for a few metres before becoming Estcourt Avenue eastwards and reaching a junction with the R101 route in Hennopspark. The M27 continues eastwards as Lenchen Avenue to fly over the N14 highway and pass through the Zwartkop suburb to enter the Centurion CBD, where it temporarily becomes two one-way streets and meets the M19 route.
It heads east-north-east, bypassing Centurion Mall before crossing the Hennops River on the south-eastern side of Centurion Lake and entering Die Hoewes, where it meets the M34 route. It continues east-north-east, still named Lenchen Avenue, then becoming River Road, to meet the M18 route in Lyttelton Manor. Just after meeting the M18, the M27 turns to the south-east as Theron Street for 1.7 kilometres before bending towards the north-east and heading another 2 kilometres to reach its end at a junction with the M28 route just north of Pierre van Ryneveld Park.
