The western section is lined with the historic Iera Odos.
The avenue became eight-laned in the 1950s and the 1960s westward and linked with the national road.
Between 1991 and 1993, the eastbound interchange and westbound entrance with the Konstantinopouleos Avenue began construction and resulted to shut off parts of Athinon Avenue and Achilleos Streets.
It now avoids a railway crossing at which it congested traffic after its opening.
Another link with the Aegaleo Ring of the Attiki Odos was planned to be made in 2012 but remains unfinished to this day due to controversies.
