The expressway is 72 kilometres ( 27.8 square miles ) long and starts in the municipality of Assen, Drenthe and ends in Eemshaven, Groningen.
The N33 had a reputation as a death road. In the northern Netherlands, a lobby had been going on for years to get the road widened to a full four-lane road between Assen and the junction with the A7 near Zuidbroek. The reconstruction should have started in 2011, but due to lack of funds it became spring 2013.
The Delfzijl-Eemshaven section was rebuilt between 2000 and 2006: bypasses were built at Appingedam, Holwierde and Spijk. In 2011 the conversion of the traffic circle at Gieten was completed, so that the road was placed under the traffic circle. In 2012, the Minister of Infrastructure issued the planning procedures order for the doubling of the N33 between Assen and Noordbroek (A7). On December 27, 2012, all objections had been rejected and nothing stood in the way of doubling the N33. The doubling of the N33 between Assen and Zuidbroek was realized in three phases. In the first phase, the new carriageway was built alongside the existing carriageway and viaducts were widened and slip roads were modified. Traffic remained on the original N33 during this phase. In phase two, traffic used the new carriageway and the existing carriageway was rebuilt and overpasses are being modified. The slip roads of the N33 remained accessible to traffic at all times. In the final phase, the 2×2 lanes were ready and Rijkswaterstaat worked on arranging the central reservation, installing guide rail and applying the lines. With this approach, the road was modified by the end of 2014.
On May 12, 2014 and May 26, 2014, respectively, the doubled sections between Assen and Gieten and between Gieten and Veendam were opened after two nine-day closures. This was due to an acceleration of the work.

The A1, also known as the Great North Road, is the longest numbered road in the United Kingdom, at 410 miles (660 km). It connects London, the capital of England, with Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The numbering system for A-roads, devised in the early 1920s, was based around patterns of roads radiating from two hubs at London and Edinburgh. The first number in the system, A1, was given to the most important part of that system: the road from London to Edinburgh, joining the two central points of the system and linking the UK's (then) two mainland capital cities. It passes through or near north London, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage, Baldock, Letchworth Garden City, Biggleswade, Eaton Socon, Buckden, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark-on-Trent, Retford, Doncaster, Pontefract, York, Wetherby, Ripon, Darlington, Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The M7 motorway is a motorway in Ireland. The motorway runs continuously from the outskirts of Naas in County Kildare to Rossbrien on the outskirts of Limerick city. The M7 forms part of the Dublin to Limerick N7 national primary road. The section of the motorway bypassing Naas, an 8 km stretch, was the first section of motorway to open in Ireland, in 1983. Following substantial works to extend the M7 to Limerick, by the end of 2010, the motorway replaced all of the old single-carriageway N7 route which is now designated as R445. At 166.5 km, the M7 is the longest motorway in Ireland.
Controlled-access highways in Poland are part of the national roads network and they are divided into motorways and expressways. Both types of highways feature grade-separated interchanges with all other roads, emergency lanes, feeder lanes, wildlife crossings and dedicated roadside rest areas. Motorways differ from expressways in their technical parameters like designated speed, permitted road curvature, lane widths or minimal distances between interchanges. Moreover, expressways might have single-carriageway sections in case of low traffic densities.
Interstate 285 (I-285) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway encircling Atlanta, Georgia, for 63.98 miles (102.97 km). It connects the three major Interstate Highways to Atlanta: I-20, I-75, and I-85. Colloquially referred to as the Perimeter, it also carries unsigned State Route 407 (SR 407) and is signed as Atlanta Bypass on I-20, I-75, and I-85.
A dual carriageway (BrE) or a divided highway (AmE) is a class of highway with carriageways for traffic travelling in opposite directions separated by a central reservation (BrE) or median (AmE). Roads with two or more carriageways which are designed to higher standards with controlled access are generally classed as motorways, freeways, etc., rather than dual carriageways.

A two-lane expressway or two-lane freeway is an expressway or freeway with only one lane in each direction, and usually no median barrier. It may be built that way because of constraints, or may be intended for expansion once traffic volumes rise. The term super two is often used by roadgeeks for this type of road, but traffic engineers use that term for a high-quality surface road. Most of these roads are not tolled.
