The road was constructed under the Order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated 30 July 2013.

The construction of a 24-km section of the highway has already been completed. Under the project, 15 aqueducts were built, and four reconstructed along the road. Nearly 550 signal mounts were installed along the facility. This third technical degree highway ensures comfortable movement of people and vehicles and improvement of communication between villages.
