Route

SH 15 originates from junction with SH 6 and SH 14 at High Road Morh, near Dainhat (in Bardhaman district) and passes through Chandrapur, Monteswar, Kusumgram, Memari, Masagram, Jamalpur, Dasghara, Tarakeswar, Champadanga, Masat, Chanditala, Dankuni, Domjur, Bargachia, Munsirhat, Amta, Bagnan, Khalor and Shyampur and terminates at Gadiara (in Howrah district). ^[1] Recently in January 2022, the road from Dharsa Morh to Naity Block Development Office(BDO), commonly known as Naity Road has been renumbered as State Highway 15A(SH-15A) since the road is connecting Grand Trunk Road/SH 6 with SH 13 at Par Dankuni, with National Highway 19(NH-19) at Dankuni and further with SH 15 at Chanditala Bus Stand.

The total length of SH 15 is 256 kilometres (159 mi) ^[2]

National Highway Authority of India or NHAI has proposed to include section of SH 15 from Champadanga via Masat, Chanditala to Dankuni under a new National Highway from 2022/23. But Highway number is still not decided & will be notified later. The new highway will connect Jhargram with Dankuni via Jhilimili, Mukutmanipur, Simlapal, Taldangra, Bishnupur, Jaypur, Kotulpur, Arambag, Champadanga & Chanditala. The new proposed National Highway will merge SH 2, SH 5 & SH 15 into a single route covering distance of 296 kilometres (184 mi).

Districts traversed by SH 15 are: ^[3]
Bardhaman district (from 0 to 87.66 km)
