Trans-Kalahari Corridor

From Windhoek, the corridor heads eastwards as the B6 for 315 km, through Gobabis, to the border town of Buitepos, where it crosses the national boundary in an easterly direction to enter Botswana and become the A2 road.

Immediately after Lobatse, at Skilpadshek, the corridor crosses the national boundary in an easterly direction to enter South Africa and become the N4 road (Platinum Highway).

The railway is expected to mostly be a freight haulage line due to the path focusing on connecting industry rather than population centres.

[5][6] The route will follow the Trans-Kalahari Corridor (TKC) highway past Gobabis to Omitara, west to Okahandja, and onwards to Walvis Bay.

In Botswana, the line shall start at the Mmamabula coal fields connecting to the existing railway to Rasesa, going west and passing north of Molepolole and east of Letlhakeng, joining the Molepolole-Kang road and through to the Mamuno border post.
