From 1996-2001, it was planned to build Expressway S94 on part of the northeast bypass of Bielsko-Biała, Żywiec – Przybędza stretch and Milówka – Zwardoń stretch. In 2001, the national road network was reformed and the section was renumbered to 69 and was built as S69. This became a portion of S1 Expressway in 2016; the old route of S1 became S52.
