It was jointly funded by China, Laos, Thailand and the Asian Development Bank.

It traverses jungle and highlands in southern Yunnan and Northern Laos before entering Thailand at Chiang Khong.

It then continues southward, largely following Thai Route 1, which becomes an Expressway standard road near Bangkok but which is largely an at-grade dual carriageway along most of its length within Thailand.
