Another 4.1 km extension to the south connects it to the S8 expressway. This extension opened to traffic in April 2014. The tender for building the remaining 27 km was opened on 2 October 2015, with completion expected around 2019.^[1] However, it was cancelled and reopened in 2017. Contracts were signed in 2019, and the northern section was completed and opened in July 2023.^[2]
