The first section is between the Slovenian border and Matulji, where the A7 connects to the B8 expressway. The second section between the A6 highway interchange at Orehovica and the town of Križišće was opened in December 2006. This section is convert|8.5|km|mi|1|sp=on|abbr=on long and includes 13 viaducts and 3 tunnels, and was due to the challenging terrain one of the most expensive highways to build in Croatia. The section between Matulji (B8 connection) and Orehovica (A6 connection) currently is a 2-lane, semi-highway bypass through Rijeka. Plans exist to upgrade this secion to a full 4-lane highway in the near future and to transfer it to D8 upon building the second Rijeka bypass. The section between Križišće and the A1 connection at Žuta Lokva is planned to be opened in 2009.
