The concession for the motorway's construction and operation until 2039 belongs to Gdańsk Transport Company (GTC), which consists of: Skanska BOT (30 percent); Liang Roads (30 percent); NDI (25 percent); and Intertoll (15 percent). The concession is for the 150km stretch between Gdańsk and Toruń. Credit for financing the construction was given by Nordic Investment Bank (E140 million or zł.580 million) and the European Investment Bank (E500 million or zł.2,035 million).

Work will be split into six sections with some 87 bridges, seven interchanges and six service areas planned along that part of the motorway. The road will be 28.5 meters wide and have two lanes each way (3.5 meters wide).
