Greece Interstate 1 is one of the longest highways in Greece. The highway begins at Kifissou Avenue or north of the Bay of Phaliro up to Efzoni at the FYROM border which intersects with M1. Until the Euroroads numbers were changed, the northern part from Efzoni to GR-2 was E5N, today, the entire stretch is run almost by E75. The freeway is tolled with the exception at the Aphidna tolls southward. One toll booth has been abandoned
It used to have entirely a 2-lane highway and ended near Katerini, in the mid-1970s, it extended to Thessaloniki and to the FYROM border, the highway had 4-lanes. It was extended during construction in the north in the 1980s? and the south in the early and mid 1990s. In 1998, the freeway had 3-lanes up to north of Thebes, and up to the Tempe Valley with a few sections at western Magnesia somewhere in the late-1990s. In 2002, it extended up near the tunnel and bypasses Larissa leaving about 10% including the Tempe Valley being 2-laned until a tunnel opened to have all sections having four to six lanes.
The portion west of downtown Athens runs over the Cephisus river and Kifissou Avenue. From north of the boundary of Voiotia-Phthotis, up to near Velestino, the toll freeway runs enxt to the bays and gulf which is connected to the Aegean.
