The official opening took place on May 12, 2015, two months earlier than expected. Its outline involved the creation of numerous tracks for wildlife and the rehabilitation of livestock trails. To minimize the environmental impact the route runs parallel to the N-630.

FRANCISCO JAVIER HERRERO BECERRO, CEO A66

"The opening of this stretch of motorway meant completing an itinerary such as the Ruta de la Plata (A-66) between Gijón and Seville in a large-capacity section, improving the driving conditions of drivers between Benavente and Zamora."
