The Island Connection: Exploring NH4 in Andaman and Nicobar Islands!

The National Highway-4, often known as the NH4, is a significant road in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that connects Port Blair, the islands’ capital, to Diglipur. The Andaman Trunk Road is another name for this 230.7 kilometre long road. It now serves as a vital mode of transportation for people living in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, linking the major cities and allowing the transfer of necessary commodities and services.

A number of significant towns, including Ferrargunj, Baratang, Kadamtala, Rangat, Billy Ground, Nimbudera, and Mayabunder, are traversed by the roadway that runs from Port Blair to Diglipur. Transporting people and goods by sea used to take several days until the 1970s, but thanks to the NH4, it can now be done in about 10 to 12 hours. Throughout the year, this roadway has made it simple to transfer things like healthcare facilities, food, and other necessities.

Originally, the NH4 was a section of the national highway that began in Mumbai and continued via Pune, Hubli, and Bangalore until coming to an end in Chennai. The NH48 was given to this section of roadway during the renumbering of national highways in 2010. The main road in the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is now the NH4, popularly known as the Andaman Trunk Road or The Great Andaman Trunk Road.

NHIDCL is now upgrading the NH4 significantly, which includes building two significant bridges at a cost of Rs 1,511.22 crore. It is anticipated that these improvements would increase the highway’s convenience and safety for users.
