The M54 is a short metropolitan route in the City of Johannesburg, South Africa that connects Wynberg with Modderfontein via Alexandra.[1] [2]

Route

The M54 begins at a junction with the M40 route (Arkwright Avenue; 2nd Street) in Wynberg. It heads eastwards as Arkwright Avenue, then as Wynberg Road, to form the southern boundary of the Alexandra township (separating it from Kew). It then becomes London Road, crossing the Jukskei River and passing through the East Bank to reach an intersection with the N3 highway (Johannesburg Eastern Bypass) south-west of Linbro Park. From the N3 interchange, it heads east-south-east as Peace Street, separating Linbro Park in the north from Longmeadow Business Estate in the south, to reach its end at a junction with the R25 route (Modderfontein Road) just south of Lakeside (Modderfontein) and north of Greenstone Hill.[3]
