Maharashtra Reclassifies 13.8 Km Of Two National Highways

The Maharashtra government has approved the reclassification of a 13.8 km stretch of two national highways in Nashik district as part of State Highway 27 after the completion of four-laning and bypass works in the Sinnar section. The decision was formalised through a government resolution issued by the Public Works Department. The action follows the completion of related widening and bypass construction between Nashik and Pune and on the Ghoti–Sinnar–Shirdi corridor.

An eight point five km portion of National Highway 60, formerly NH-50, running from the Sinnar bypass to Rurewadi Phata has been declassified and redesignated as State Highway 27 (A). The reclassification reflects the changed traffic and alignment following the bypass and four-laning works in the area. The Public Works Department assigned responsibility for the stretch to the state highway network. The redesignation will position the stretches within the numbering sequence of State Highway 27 and aid in administrative clarity for future upgrades.

A five point three km stretch of National Highway 160, which was earlier Major State Highway 12 and extends from Sangamner Naka to Musalgaon MIDC, has been redesignated as State Highway 27 (B). The combined length of the reclassified stretches totals 13.8 km within Nashik district. Officials indicated that the reclassification aligns route numbering with the completed infrastructure.

The move is expected to integrate the upgraded corridors more closely with state-level planning and maintenance regimes and to clarify jurisdiction for future works. Road users and local planners are likely to benefit from clearer administrative oversight as the stretches now fall within the State Highway 27 framework. Further operational and maintenance measures will be undertaken by the Public Works Department under the government resolution. Local authorities will coordinate with state engineers to ensure signage and maintenance align with the standards applied to other state highways.
