Route

The M99 begins at a junction with the M57 road (Pretoria Road) near O. R. Tambo International Airport in the southern part of Kempton Park. It begins by going eastwards towards the airport and at the next junction, the M99 turns north, then west, via a left turn to pass under the M57 and head westwards.

It heads west-south-west as Electron Avenue, parallel to the R24 highway (Albertina Sisulu Freeway), to form the northern border of the southernmost suburb of Kempton Park (Isando Industrial Area) and reach a junction with the M39 road (Isando Road). Shortly after, it reaches a junction with the M59 road (Lazarus Mawela Road).

The M99 continues west-south-west as Herman Street, still parallel to the R24, to form the northern border of the northernmost suburbs of Germiston (Klopper Park and Meadowdale) before entering the suburb of Meadowbrook at the north-eastern corner of Bedfordview (just south of Edenvale), where it reaches its end at a junction with the M37 road (Lungile Mtshali Road).

The R21 is a major north–south provincial route in eastern Gauteng Province, South Africa. Built in the early 1970s, it remains one of two freeways linking Pretoria with Johannesburg, via the R24. As the eastern of the two freeways, it links the Pretoria city centre with OR Tambo International Airport, the N12 freeway, and Boksburg. Between the Solomon Mahlangu Drive on-ramp in Monument Park, Pretoria, and the N12 in Boksburg, the R21 is an 8 lane highway and motorway (freeway), with 4 lanes in each direction. It has off-ramps leading to Irene, Olifantsfontein, Benoni, and Kempton Park, including a partial offramp to Atlas Road. The route intersects the N1 Highway near Centurion, the R24 near the airport, the N12 and N17 in Boksburg, and the N3 near Vosloorus on the East Rand, where it ends. The section from the N12 to the N3 is not a freeway. As early as the 1970s there were proposals to extend the R21 freeway further south and the freeway may be linked with the current eastern terminus of the M2 in Germiston in future. It is also designated as the P157.
