National Highway 4 (NH 4) is a major National Highway in Western and Southern India. NH 4 links four of the 10 most populous Indian cities - Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. NH 4 is 1,235 km (767 mi) in length and passes through the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
NH 4 constitutes roughly 90% of the Golden Quadrilateral's Mumbai-Chennai segment. As a part of this project NH 4 has been widened from two lane single carriageway to four lane dual carriageway. The highway is known as Pune-Bangalore ( PB ) Road in some parts of Karnataka. The Mumbai-Pune section of the highway was supplemented by the Mumbai-Pune Expressway in 2000.The highway passes through populated towns and cities of Maharashtra and Karnataka namely Satara, Karad, Kolhapur, Belgaum, Dharwad, Hubli, Davangere and Tumkur. The Bangalore-Chennai section of the highway is supplemented by the triangle of National Highways NH7, NH46, and returns to NH4 at Ranipet.
The NH4 by-passes Pune city from Dehu Road to Katraj. The Pune bypass is 4 lane with 2 lane service roads on each side. NH4 now also bypasses the busy Katraj ghat in Pune by a Tunnel which saves almost one hour of travel on NH4.
NH4 bypasses Sangli at about 40 km (25 mi). There are two exits for Sangli-Miraj twin cities on NH4. Both exits form a triangle with NH4 and Sangli is about 40 km (25 mi) from each exit.
