NH66 — The Key Highway of India’s Western Coast
2025/05/17, 19:25
National Highway 66 (NH66) spans 1,600 km, connecting Panvel (Maharashtra) and Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu), passing through Goa, Karnataka, and Kerala. It plays a vital role in trade, linking the ports of Mumbai, Mangaluru, and Kochi, while also boosting tourism by providing access to popular destinations like Goa, Udupi, and Kovalam.
Despite its scenic beauty and economic importance, NH66 faces challenges such as traffic congestion and landslides during the monsoon season. Authorities are working to upgrade the highway by widening lanes and constructing bypasses to improve traffic flow.
