 (Avoiding the Leandra Town Centre and the upcoming Kinross Town Centre by bypassing to the south)

So, as the R29 used to end at the junction with the R50, it now also continues eastwards on that old section of the N17 route through Leandra Central and Kinross Central, remaining an alternative route to the current N17.From the R50 junction, the N17 continues eastwards for twenty kilometres, bypassing Kinross, to meet the R580 road at a point north-east of Evander and north-west of Secunda, which marks the point where the N17 joins its old alignment.This junction, known as the Leven Station Junction, also marks the eastern end of the R29 route (the N17 Highway no longer has a parallel, backup route following it for the remainder of its length).
