The northern part of State Route 22 is a fairly important thoroughfare for interregional traffic. The road has therefore been expanded with 4 lanes, but is not everywhere a divided highway. The section between Martin and Union City was later expanded as a freeway . The oldest part of this is the Martin bypass and the connecting section to the south side of Union City, which opened as early as the mid-1990s.
