 Plans are underway to find a route for construction in order for traffic to skip the town centre.In Ermelo Central, the N17 enters as Joubert Street and reaches an intersection with the N11 national route (Kerk Street), just one kilometre north of its intersection with the N2 national route terminus.The N17 joins the N11 northwards up to the junction with Fourie Street, where the N17 turns eastwards.
