This axis is part of Pan-European Corridor IX and has a total length of 23 km. To date, the northern part of the axis has been constructed (4 km long) and will be upgraded in the framework of the new construction contract.

For the remaining section up to the Greek-Bulgarian borders, 20 km long, (new alignment) the M.E.P.P.P.W. has prepared designs that EGNATIA ODOS A.E. has undertaken for review and completion.

The project is estimated to be completed in the summer of 2010.
