Detailed Route

The R35 begins in Amersfoort, at a junction with the N11 national route. [2] :22 It begins by going westwards as Sybrand van Niekerk Street before turning towards the north-west. It crosses the Vaal River 25 kilometres from Amersfoort before bending northwards.

It enters Morgenzon from the south as De Jager Street and reaches a junction with the R39 road (Steyn Street). [2] :22 It joins the R39 eastwards up to the second junction, where it becomes the road northwards and proceeds to cross the Blesbokspruit and Kwaggalaagte rivers.

Entering Bethal from the south, it reaches a t-junction with the N17 national route and joins it to be co-signed northwards through the town centre.
