'''National Highway 4''', or NH 4,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://morth.nic.in/sites/default/files/State_wise_Length_of_National_Highways_in_India.pdf|title=State-wise length of National Highways in India |date=30 November 2018|publisher=[[Ministry of Road Transport and Highways]]|access-date=9 May 2019| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200929205249/https://morth.nic.in/sites/default/files/State_wise_Length_of_National_Highways_in_India.pdf| archive-date=29 September 2020}}</ref> is the major highway in the Indian [[union territory]] of [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]]. It is 230.7&nbsp;km in length. This road running from the capital city of [[Port Blair]] to [[Diglipur]] connects all the major towns of [[Ferrargunj]], [[Baratang]], [[Kadamtala, Rangat|Kadamtala]], [[Rangat]], Billiground, Nimbudera and [[Mayabunder]]. This highway is known as the '''Great Andaman Trunk Road'''.<br />
<br />
Prior 1970s to early 1990s transportation of men and goods used to take several days by sea route now can be completed in a matter of 10–12 hours. NH-4 facilitates movement of essential commodities, access to health care facilities, etc. year-round.<br />
<br />
ATR passes through the buffer zone of the Jarwa Reserve between Jirkatang to the Middle Strait where laws are in place to minimize traveler contact with the native tribe of [[Jarawas (Andaman Islands)|Jarawa]]. Only vehicle convoys with armed escorts are allowed.<br />
<br />
This highway is currently undergoing a major upgrade and construction of two major bridges under [[NHIDCL]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=http://nhidcl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Andaman-Nicobar.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007234330/https://nhidcl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Andaman-Nicobar.pdf |archive-date=7 October 2022 |access-date=2025-03-11 |website=nhidcl.com |url-status=live }}</ref> of ₹ 1511.22 crores.<br />
<br />
Earlier this stretch of highway was numbered as NH-223.<ref>[http://www.nhai.org/NH4_Mumbai_Chennai_main.htm] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180324152803/http://www.nhai.org/NH4_Mumbai_Chennai_main.htm|date=24 March 2018}} Details of National Highways in India-Source-[[National Highways Authority of India]] (NHAI)</ref><br />
<br />
A stretch of national highway from [[Mumbai]] to [[Pune]] to [[Belgaum]] to [[Bangalore]] to [[Chennai]] was earlier called NH 4 before renumbering of national highways in 2010. The former NH 4 is now renumbered as [[National Highway 48 (India)|NH 48]].<br />
