The R556 is a Regional Route in North West, South Africa that connects Sun City with Modderspruit.[1]

Route

[edit]

Its north-western terminus is in Sun City, at a junction with the northern terminus of the R565 from Rustenburg (east of Phatsima). It heads east, passing the southern entrance of the Pilanesberg National Park, bypassing the Sun City Resort and the Pilanesberg International Airport, before bending south-east to cross the R510 south of Monakato. It proceeds south-east through Barseba to cross the N4 (Platinum Highway) at Modderspruit. It ends shortly thereafter at a junction with the R104.[1]
