[1] The motorway is part of an extension of the Pan-European Corridor IV, that will be connecting with the Bulgarian city of Varna.

[2] The contract for the construction of the stretch of motorway between Ovidiu and Lazu was awarded in September 2008 to the joint venture between the Italian company Astaldi and the Spanish company FCC Construction, and was due to be completed until November 2011.

[3] A new bridge was built over the Danube – Black Sea Canal, downstream of the Agigea lock,[4] in order to allow access to the busier southern terminal of the Port of Constanța directly from the motorway.

[9] As for the southern end, it is planned that tender procedures begin in 2023 for the segment between Agigea and 23 August (c. 29 km), also termed the "Techirghiol Alternative", that would bypass Eforie and its surrounding area.

This particular project would involve a reconfiguration of the junction with A2 in order to provide access to the new motorway segment, as well as to nearby Cumpăna.
