The

project road starts from Goa - Karnataka border (km 93.700) and
ends at Kundapur (km 283.300).The total length of project road is
189.600 km based on existing km stones. The project highway
alignment is located between Arabian Sea coast and Western ghats
in Karnataka. At few stretches the highway is close to the Arabian
Sea (within 500m). NH: 63 from Gootyjoins the project road near
Ankola at km 135.450 and NH: 206 from Tumkurjoins at Honnavar at
