When it was 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 which began near the Afidnes toll. In 1995 the Greek National Road 1 had motorway characteristics in sections Athens - Thebes and Kleidi - Thessaloniki, while the section Thebes - Kleidi was an undivided 14 m road. In 1998, the motorway had 6-lanes up to north of Thebes, and 4 lanes from Thebes up to the Tempe Valley with a few sections at western Magnesia still having 2 lanes. Since then, the Larissa bypass has been constructed. In 2005, it complies with all motorway standards for most of its length, except for 78 km around the Maliakos Bay and 26 km through the Tempe Valley, further to the north. Plans to be upgraded to motorway at these parts are underway, with bypasses at the Maliakos Gulf part, and a new tunnel at the Tempe Valley part. However, many delays frequently arise. Construction has started around the Maliakos Bay that are due to be completed in late 2007 or early 2008. A tunnel that was planned through the Maliakos and was used in some maps has been removed or unplanned. The full upgrade to motorway standards at these two parts is not expected to be completed before 2012.
