The C36 is a secondary route in the Erongo Region of central Namibia. It runs from Wilhelmstal via Omaruru to Uis[1] and is long. Before the designation as a C road, the section between Wilhelmstal and Omaruru was the trunk road TR 7/2, and the section between Omaruru and Uis was the main road MR 64.[2]

The C36 branches off the B2 at Wilhelmstal and leads in north-eastern direction to Omaruru where it cojoins the C33. It then leads through Omaruru and proceeds eastwards to Uis, where it joins the C35. The C36 is unpaved except for outside Uis, and where it runs along the tarred C33 in and around Omaruru.[3]

The C36 crosses the Khan River north-east of Wilhelmstal. The bridge was built in 1968. It also crosses several smaller riverbeds, the respective bridges were built between 1967 and 1975.[2]
