From February 14, 1986[3] until the road network reform in 2000, the route was signed as national road 812.[4]
In the years 2005[5] – 2007,[6] the road was reconstructed, as part of which, among others, the surface was renewed and strengthened to a load of 115 kN/axle.[7] Also a concrete parking lane was built, 4 metres (13 ft) wide and approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long, stretching from the intersection with national road 2 in Wólka Dobryńska to the car terminal in Koroszczyn. The stretch from Koroszczyn terminal to the border crossing is accessible only for large goods vehicles and overlaps with planned course of motorway A2.[8]
