On November 29, 1991, the first part of the Expressway was opened in 100 southeastern between Pangyo and Henam, which is the distance between the 1 and the Expressway Expressway 35. On December 10, 1992, a second section between Incheon and Namyangju opened in the northwest of the city. On July 20, 1995, a small piece opened west of Pangyo on the south side of Seoul and the highway was extended by a further exit to the west. On 3 November 1997 opened a section to the west of Seoul, bringing the ring road was closed on the southwest side.
Since Seoul is located near the border with North Korea and in between are no major cities or major roads, the construction of the northern part of the ring was not completed until later. On 28 December 2007 opened the last northern part of the highway, causing the ring road was completed.
