TheR28 is aprovincial route inGauteng,South Africa that connectsKrugersdorp withVereeniging viaRandfontein.[1] The R28 used to connect withPretoria, but that section of the road is now part of theN14.
The R28 begins at a 4-way intersection with theN14 national route and theM47 metropolitan route north-east ofKrugersdorp,Mogale City Local Municipality (at Cradlestone Mall; midway between Krugersdorp andMuldersdrift) (north-west of Roodepoort).[1] The R28 used to proceed north-east as the route toPretoria, but that section of the road was given to the N14 national route.[1]
From there, the R28 heads south-west as Paardekraal Drive to pass by thePaardekraal Monument and intersect with theR24 road fromRoodepoort in Krugersdorp Central. After the R24 junction, the R28 continues by way of a right turn at Main Reef Road, which is the next junction after the railway crossing. It heads south-west for 10 km as Main Reef Road before intersecting with theR41 road from Roodepoort atRandfontein in theRand West City Local Municipality. The R28 continues southwards and meets theR559 route in Randfontein's southern suburbs before bypassing theMohlakeng township.[1]
Afterwards, it proceeds southwards toWestonaria (bypassing Westonaria Central to the east) and meets theN12 Moroka Bypass betweenJohannesburg south to the east andPotchefstroom to the west. After the N12 junction, it heads south-east as Randfontein Road for about 30 km towardsSebokeng.[1]
Next, the R28 crosses theN1 Kroonvaal Toll Route between Johannesburg andKroonstad and entersEvaton in theEmfuleni Local Municipality (south ofOrange Farm). Right after the off-ramp, it intersects with theR553 from Johannesburg at a t-junction and joins it going southwards as the Golden Highway, passing through westernSebokeng, for 9 kilometres up to the 4-way junction with the R54 road.[1]
At the junction with theR54 road fromPotchefstroom, the R28 stops co-signing with the R553 southwards and begins co-signing with the R54 eastwards towardsVereeniging, bypassingVanderbijlpark. After 6 km, the R54 becomes its own road eastwards (Houtkop Road, bypassing Vereeniging Central), leaving the R28 as the south-easterly road to Vereeniging Central (Boy Louw Street). After crossing theR59 Sybrand Van Niekerk Freeway, the R28 becomes Beaconsfield Road, enters Vereeniging Central and ends at an intersection with theR82 (Voortrekker Street).[1]
