Udupi, 23 April 2011: National Highway numbers will be changing. Total 218 National Highways have been issued new numbers. From now on NH-17 which connects Maharastra – Karnataka – Kerala States will become NH-66. Mangalore – Bangalore connecting NH-48 will become NH-75. In order to scientifically identify the national highways of the country these are being divided zone wise north – south – west – east and these revised numbers are issued.

 

 

In the year 1947 the total length of the national highways was 21,378 kilometers, which is now increased to 70,934 kilometers. This will be increased to more than one lakh kilometers by the year 2021. Hence keeping in mind of the new highways and on the view of expanding these identification these measures have been taken.

 

NH-17 which is between Udupi – Mangalore has been changed to NH-66. This NH-17 number has been allotted to West Bengal. Mangalore – Hassan – Bangalore highway NH-48 has been changed to NH-75. This NH-48 has been allotted to Delhi – Haryana – Mumbai – Belgam – Bangalore – Vellur national highway. Mangalore – Karkala – Moodabidre – Shivamoga connecting national highway NH-13 has been changed to NH-169. This NH-13 has been allotted to Arunachal Pradesh.

 

Transportation and National Highway Ministry has issued notification on this in last year giving the information to the National Highway department and the States. Without proper information to the public on this matter has caused confusion. It might even cause problems while investigating the traffic accident cases.

 

The National Highway numbers which are changed in Karnataka State are as follows:

NH-50, from Humnabad – Gulbarga – Jevargi – Bijapura – Hosapete connects to NH-48.

NH-52, from Panjab – Haryana – Rajastan – Madhyapradesh – Maharastra – Bijapura – Hubli – Ankola connects to NH-66.

NH-66, from Maharastra – Goa – Hohhavar – Udupi – Mangalore – Kasargod – Kannur – Trivendrum connects to NH-44.

NH-766, from Calicat Kerala – Gundlupete – Mysore – Kollegal connects to NH-948.

NH-169, connects to NH-69 in Shivmoga and Thirthahalli – Koppa Moodbidri – Karkala connects to NH-66.

NH-369, connects to NH-69 in Bhadravathi – Chennagiri – Holalkere – Chitradurga connects to NH-48.

The old NH numbering would have been done with some basis. Now, according to whoever, numbering is redone on some other basis. In coming years, some may find some other reason for numbering. Best would have been to continue with old numbers to already numbered NHs and follow new numbering procedures for the new ones.

Though changing of the National Highway numbers is for some good reason, it will be confusion for sometime to the public.
