The project road starts from its junction with National Highway-51 near Porbandar and connects Bhanavad, Jam Jodhpur and terminates at its junction with National Highway-927D near Kalavad. National Highway-151K acts as a connector between three important highways i.e. Porbandar-Khambhalia (NH-927K), Junagadh-Jamnagar (NH-927D) and Rajkot-Porbandar (NH-27).

The upgradation of this highway with grade-separated structures, 8 major bridges and 10 bypasses will provide better connectivity to the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, the Minister further announced. DeshGujarat
