Its northern terminus is a junction with the N6 at Stutterheim. It heads south-south-west through Braunschweig to King William's Town (Qonce), where it enters as Alexander Avenue and meets the N2 and the R63 at the four-way junction with Maitland Road. All three routes join to become the road westwards (Grey Street) up to the Buffalo Road junction, where the N2 & R63 become Buffalo Road northwards while the R346 becomes Buffalo Road southwards.[2]
The R346 leaves the town heading south-south-east to pass through Zwelitsha, where it meets the R102 to Phakamisa and crosses the Buffalo River. It continues south, then east (meeting the M25 to Kidd's Beach), to reach a T-junction with the M5 (Buffalo Pass). The R346 takes over as the Buffalo Pass and heads southwards to reach its end at a junction with the R72 approximately 2 kilometres west of King Phalo Airport in East London.
