Construction on Lot II of the same motorway, the stretch spanning from Nova Zagora to Stara Zagora, started on May 3 2010. Magistrali Trace consortium, led by companies from Trace Group, one of Bulgaria's leading road-building firms, won the tender after it tabled the lowest bidding price of 137.9 million leva for the 32km stretch of motorway.

The concept for a motorway from Sofia to Bourgas dates back to 1964, while the actual construction was launched in 1975. The Sofia – Plovdiv stretch of motorway took 10 years to build.

The stretch between Nova Zagora and Stara Zagora, 32km in total, is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2012.
