The width of the roadbed, which is being reconstructed in accordance with the II technical category, will be 15 metres and the width of the two-lane carriageway will be 7.5 metres (3.75 metres for each lane).

The earthworks on the 0-21 kilometres section of the motorway have already been completed, culverts have already been laid there and the road base is being laid.

According to the project, a new drainage system will be installed on the reconstructed road and three road bridges will be built.
