Route
Its south-western terminus is a junction with the R513 road just north-east of Pretoria, Gauteng. It heads north-east for 48 Kilometres, bypassing the Roodeplaat Dam and Roodeplaat Nature Reserve, to enter Mpumalanga and reach the town of KwaMhlanga, where it meets the R568 road.
It continues east-north-east for 26 kilometres to the town of Kwaggafontein. From Kwaggafontein, the R573 continues north-east to cross into Limpopo at the town of Witfontein. Soon after, the R573 meets the R568 again and temporarily crosses back into Mpumalanga, entering the town of Siyabuswa. The distance from Kwaggafontein to Siyabuswa is 24 kilometres.
Just after Siyabuswa, the R573 crosses back into Limpopo and continues north-east for 30 kilometres to end at a junction with the R33 and N11 National Route in Marble Hall, just south of the town centre.
