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).
