Though classified as national highway the width of this road is very less at many stretches. The stretches where road width is very less are Malpe to Karavali By-pass, Manipal to Perdoor and Someshwara to Agumbe where only mini buses and mini lorry are allowed. The NH-169A ascends Agumbe ghat section of Western ghats of India (Bharat).
Currently, Malpe to Hebri stretch is being widened to 4-Lane National Highway.
