In 2003, the entire long beltway was opened, albeit with three different road types – freeway, limited access expressway and as interim frontage roads – with all the newly opened sections being designated as County Route 215. On August 9, 2006, a section of freeway was completed that allowed the connection of two previously built freeway portions. This meant a continuous stretch of road consisting of about half the road's overall mileage, from the I-515/SR 564 terminus to Charleston Boulevard was now completed to freeway standards.
