The Sheoraphuli–Kamarkundu–Tarakeswar–Arambagh Road meets NH 60 at Bishnupur. It meets and merges with the Bankura–Jhargram Road (State Highway 9) at Dhaldanga up to Bikna. The total length of NH 60 is 446 km (277 mi) out of which 57 km (35 mi) is in Odisha and 389 km (242 mi) in West Bengal.[1] In 2010, the highway was renumbered to form parts of present-day NH 16, NH 49, and all of NH 14. The section between Balasore and Kharagpur became part of NH 16, after which a small portion of NH 49 is used to connect to the start of NH 14, upon which the rest of the route continues as until its terminus in Morgram.
