It was the first urban <a href="/wiki/Toll_road" title="Toll road">toll road</a> in <a href="/wiki/Gauteng" title="Gauteng">Gauteng</a>. It runs from the <a href="/wiki/M11_(Johannesburg)" title="M11 (Johannesburg)">M11</a> Wemmer Pan Road in Johannesburg to <a href="/wiki/M63_road_(Johannesburg)" class="mw-redirect" title="M63 road (Johannesburg)">Tonk Meter Road</a> in Springs. The first part of the N17 used to be the old R77 which ran from the M46 Rand Airport Road to the R23. As part of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Scheme, two slip roads have been made linking the N17 to the <a href="/wiki/N12_road_(South_Africa)" class="mw-redirect" title="N12 road (South Africa)">N12</a>. It is now possible to travel from the N17 West to the N12 West and from the N12 East to the N17 East, both at the Elands Interchange (previously only possible via the <a href="/wiki/N3_(South_Africa)" title="N3 (South Africa)">N3</a>). From Tonk Meter Road the N17 is a single carriageway freeway. The section from <a href="/wiki/Springs,_Gauteng" class="mw-redirect" title="Springs, Gauteng">Springs</a> to <a href="/wiki/Leandra,_Mpumalanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Leandra, Mpumalanga">Leandra</a>, ending at the interchange with the R50, was constructed by the then Transvaal Provincial Administration (TPA) in 1990 as a single carriageway road. (The R29 ran alongside the N17 from Springs to Leandra). </p><p>From Leandra, the N17 then followed the alignment of the R29 to Ermelo, and thereafter the R65 to Oshoek. However, the N17 at that time traversed through four towns (Leandra, Kinross, Trichardt and Bethal) causing delays to the traveling public, and safety risks to the local public, especially pedestrians. The R29 was also badly potholed, and without passing lanes or even shoulders, making the section from <a href="/wiki/Leandra,_Mpumalanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Leandra, Mpumalanga">Leandra</a> to <a href="/wiki/Ermelo,_Mpumalanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Ermelo, Mpumalanga">Ermelo</a> dangerous. </p><p><a href="/wiki/SANRAL" title="SANRAL">SANRAL</a> commenced with toll feasibility investigations in 2001 for the N17 after which consultants were appointed for the rehabilitation, upgrading as well as design of new sections for the N17 from <a href="/wiki/Springs,_Gauteng" class="mw-redirect" title="Springs, Gauteng">Springs</a> to <a href="/wiki/Ermelo,_Mpumalanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Ermelo, Mpumalanga">Ermelo</a>. In order to enable SANRAL to refund loans for the funding of the rehabilitation project, it was inevitable that the N17 from <a href="/wiki/Springs,_Gauteng" class="mw-redirect" title="Springs, Gauteng">Springs</a> to <a href="/wiki/Oshoek" title="Oshoek">Oshoek</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Mpumalanga_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="Mpumalanga Province">Mpumalanga Province</a> would also be declared a continuous toll road and toll plazas will be erected. </p><p>The existing single lane carriageway between Springs and Leandra has been rehabilitated with improvements to the vertical and horizontal alignment, paved shoulders, grade separated interchanges at the R548 (Devon/Balfour) and R42 (Delmas/Nigel), and climbing/passing lanes. The new section between <a href="/wiki/Leandra,_Mpumalanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Leandra, Mpumalanga">Leandra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Trichardt" title="Trichardt">Trichardt</a> (21 km) has been completed, and the first toll plaza at the interchange with the R50 is now open. As of October 2011, the N17 rejoins the old alignment just east of Kinross. Other improvements include a new section past <a href="/wiki/Trichardt" title="Trichardt">Trichardt</a> (3 km) and in <a href="/wiki/Bethal" title="Bethal">Bethal</a> (1,5 km). </p><p>The N17 East Toll Road comprises Section 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the proclaimed N17 route. In general terms the route can be described as the existing N17 between <a href="/wiki/Springs,_Gauteng" class="mw-redirect" title="Springs, Gauteng">Springs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oshoek" title="Oshoek">Oshoek</a>, with approximately 26 km of newly constructed sections.
