The national highway 52 was numbered after amalgamating many existing national highways of India. The old highway numbered NH63 went from Ankola in Karnataka state to Gooty in Andhra Pradesh .[2] NH 52 starts at the junction of National Highway 66 (old number NH 17) at Ankola and moves up to Arebail ghat of Western Ghats and then to Yellapura and further to Hubballi (Hubli) city.[3] [4] Some stretch of old National Highway 13 from Vijayapura ( old name Bijapur) to Solapur was joined with NH 52. Lorries coming from Hubballi city to Karwar sea port and New Mangalore sea port (NMPT) use this highway. The stretch of road from Ankola to Yellapura is through the forests of the Western ghats of India. Biaora - Dhule section of this highway is part of the Legendary Agra-Bombay Road, also known as AB Road.
