Elevation to National Highway
The road was declared a National Highway (NH) on 4 March 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.
Currently the stretch between Angamoozhy Forest Checkpost and Vallakadavu Forest Checkpost is entry restricted and the forest department allows only 30{{Cite web|url=https://gavikakkionline.com/terms-conditions|title = Terms, Conditions & Policies — Official Gavi-Kakki Eco Tourism Online Ticket Booking Portal by Goodrical Forest Range, Kerala Forest & Wildlife Department}} private vehicles per day on the route and vehicles entering through Kochandi Check post has to leave only through Vallakkadavu Check post before 6 pm.{{Cite web|url=https://gavikakkionline.com/about|title=About U — Official Gavi-Kakki Eco Tourism Online Ticket Booking Portal by Goodrical Forest Range, Kerala Forest & Wildlife Department}}
