History
The country road was established in 1986 and connects with routes of different genesis.
Origin
1827 the short section between Warsaw and Żabia Wola was merely already developed as a road. From there, the then under construction in Warsaw Czenstochauer road should be continued until Petrikau.
In the first half of the 19th century, the land routes in the Prussian provinces Posen and Silesia fortified Arts roads ( highways ) have been developed. The street of Wroclaw on Glatz to Vienna was built 1827-1833. 1847-48 also the road from Oels on large Wartenberg was expanded to Kempen. During the same period the road between Piotrków and Wieluń arose. It enabled the growth of the textile industry in Belchatow.

The Polish state road network was initially focused on the capital, Warsaw, his road numbers were numbered from Warsaw clockwise. The road from Warsaw to Bialystok in 1949 Droga Państwowa referred to as 3, the road from Warsaw to Czestochowa as Droga Państwowa 14
In 1985, the Polish road network was reorganized. The previous state roads (Polish: Drogi Państwowe ) were in local streets (Polish: krajowe Drogi, Droga Krajowa singular ) renamed and renumbered. On the route of today's national road 8, there were 1985 the following highways:
