Maharashtra Reclassifies 13.8 Km Of Two National Highways

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

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. The decision was formalised in a government resolution issued by the Public Works Department (PWD). The reclassification follows the completion of four-laning and bypass works in the Sinnar section. The action transfers responsibility for the specified stretches from the central list to the state road network.

Under the resolution an eight point five km portion of National Highway 60 (NH 60), formerly numbered NH 50, from the Sinnar bypass to Rurewadi Phata has been declassified and redesignated as State Highway 27A. In addition a five point three km stretch of National Highway 160 (NH 160), which had earlier formed part of Major State Highway 12 between Sangamner Naka and Musalgaon MIDC, has been reclassified as State Highway 27B. The PWD will manage the redesignation process.

The moves follow completion of widening and bypass construction works on the Nashik–Pune corridor and on the Ghoti–Sinnar–Shirdi route, which prompted reassessment of which stretches require national oversight. Reclassification is a routine administrative measure once upgraded corridors are connected by higher capacity alignments and bypasses. The state government indicated that the changes reflect evolving traffic patterns and the conclusion of the capital funded works in the affected sections.

Responsibility for maintenance and future improvements on the redesignated sections will pass to state authorities and will be integrated into the existing State Highway 27 programme. Officials expect the redesignation to streamline administrative oversight and to support continued improvements in local connectivity and industrial access without altering the completed road standards. Further notices will specify implementation timelines and signboard changes.
