Old Route & New Re-Alignment

Pallahara - Samal Barrage - Godibandha - Talcher - Nuahata was the old alignment of NH 149. But from 2024, NH 149 alignment was changed to Nauhatta - Talcher - Godibandha - Bajrakote - Rengali - Deogarh. The old alignment of Pallahara - Samal Barrage - Godibandha - Talcher is new labeled as NH 53. This has ensured trucks & vehicles reaching the 6 lane wide NH49 very quickly. The old route of NH53 via Rengali-Deogarh used to take a long time as it had multiple ghat sections.
