history

The M1 was originally part of the Soviet M29, which ran along the northern Caucasus to Baku. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Azerbaijan renamed its M-roads. The part between Baku and Sumqayıt was already developed like a motorway during the time of the Soviet Union and has been modernized and expanded. Since the expansion between 2006 and 2008, the M1 has been the longest motorway in Azerbaijan.
