Construction
Construction started in 2010. It is not known when the route will be completed. The lanes for the two directions of travel should not be separated in the middle by green strips or guardrails. At the same time, the new railway line is being built, which is to be designed for a maximum speed of 200 km/h.[1] When completed, it closes a gap in Asian Highway 1.

A total of 19 toll booths, 12 rest stops and 77 bridges will be built.[2]
