editThe M64 starts at a junction with the M85 route (Katherine Street) in Sandton Central (Sandown). It heads northwards as West Street to meet the M9 route (Rivonia Road) at the next junction adjacent to the Gautrain Station. It continues northwards through the Sandton CBD to reach a junction with the M40 route (Grayston Drive).
From the M40 junction, the M64 continues north to enter the western limits of the suburb of Morningside as Benmore Road, passing through Benmore Gardens and Northern Acres. It then turns east to become Outspan Road before turning north to become Ballyclare Drive. As Ballyclare Drive, it bends to the west, passing through River Club (where it crosses the Braamfontein Spruit), to enter the suburb of Bryanston. It turns north as St Audley Road before turning north-west as Grosvenor Road to reach a junction with the M81 route (Winnie Mandela Drive).[3]: 15
