 The funds raised through the public loan were left unused for several months, then spent for construction of a road between Vrlika and Strmica via Knin, now a part of the D1 and D30 state roads.However, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe recognized the route as the southernmost part of the Pyhrn route, giving it the designation E59 in 1975.Subsequent reorganizations of the E-road network, including the latest one in 2008, transferred the route south of Zagreb to the E71.
