Highway system

National Highway 183A, also known as NH 183A, is a National Highway in the Indian state of Kerala that runs from Bharanikavu (Kollam), near Adoor, to Vandiperiyar.[1] It is the 4th National Highway passing through the Kollam district.

Evelation to National Highway

The road was declared a National Highway (NH) on March 4, 2014. It conforms to NH standards for a two-lane traffic highway from Adoor to Plapally. The section past Plapally is only 4 meters wide and passes through forest and wildlife areas. The Forest Department raised concerns over the road's alignment. Once upgraded, a new connection from Vandiperiyar to Sabarimala is planned.

Most traffic consists of trucks carrying consumer goods, construction material, container trucks and passenger vehicles. At night, the highway handles more goods-related traffic. Many large industry and textile parks are located along this highway. This highway is particularly busy during the Sabarimala Season.
