Construction of the motorway began in 1996. Part of the motorway was opened along with theEleftherios Venizelos International Airport to which it connects, in 2001. It started from theGerakas interchange and led to the airport.
In September 2002, construction of theAthens Suburban Railway railway started, in the large median of the motorway. The railway was opened in 2004. In early 2003, the A6 was opened from theKifisias Avenue Interchange to Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. In November 2003, the western part opened from the junction with theA8 to Kifisias Avenue.

The fare is the same regardless of the length of journey but depends on vehicle category. Drivers can pay either by cash, e-pass or a special account card; for motorbikes and cars the standard toll fares are €1.25 and €2.50 respectively.
