Route

Nelson Mandela Bay

The R75 begins at the intersection with the R102 (Govan Mbeki Road) in Sydenham, just north of the Port Elizabeth city centre and heads in a north-westerly direction as Commercial Road. It intersects with the N2 in the suburb of Korsten. After crossing the N2 it becomes Uitenhage Road. It goes through the large township of Ibhayi and leaves the built up area of Port Elizabeth before intersecting with the R367 in an interchange south of Despatch and becomes a dual-carriageway freeway. It bypasses Despatch and intersects with the R367 again in an interchange north of Despatch. It enters the western part of Uitenhage and then ends as a dual-carriageway freeway north of Uitenhage. Soon after that it leaves the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality.

After leaving the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, it enters the Sarah Baartman District Municipality (previously Cacadu District Municipality) heading in north-north-west direction and then heading north-west. It intersects with the R336 to Kirkwood and goes through Kleinpoort. Shortly after Kleinpoort it intersects with the R329 to Willowmore and heads in a northerly direction. It intersects with the R400 (to Riebeek East and Makhanda) and heads north-west again going through Jansenville. In Jansenville it meets with the R339 (to Klipplaat) and heads north-east and then meets with the R337 (to Cradock) and heads north-north-west again to Graaff-Reinet.
