The C36 is a secondary route in the Erongo Region of central Namibia. It runs from Wilhelmstal via Omaruru to Uis[1] and is 196 kilometres (122 mi) long.[2] 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.[3] 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.[2] The C36 is unpaved except for 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) outside Uis, and where it runs along the tarred C33 in and around Omaruru.[4] The C36 crosses the Khan River 23 kilometres (14 mi) 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.[3]
