Overview
The route is officially designated as a bypass for National Route 6, however it is functionally an extension of the Kita-Kantō Expressway. As such it is classified as a national highway for motor vehicles only with national expressway concurrency (高速自動車国道に並行する一般国道自動車専用道路, Kōsoku Jidōsha Kokudō ni Heikōsuru Ippan Kokudō Jidōsha Senyō Dōro) with the same design standard as other national expressways.
The first section was opened to traffic in 1996 and a bridge crossing the Naka River was finished in 1999, completing the route. The road was expanded from 2 to 4 lanes in 2000.
