History

Much of what is now National Route 423 was part of the Settan-kaido, a road linking Ikeda in what was Settsu Province and Kameoka in what was then Tanba Province.[3]

In 1964, the portion of the route between Kita-ku and Osaka Prefecture Route 9, known as the Shinmidō-suji, was built alongside the extended Midōsuji Line to accommodate automobile traffic from Shin-Ōsaka Station into central Osaka. Later in the decade, Shinmidō-suji was extended north again along with the Midōsuji Line to Suita were the venue for the Expo '70 was. National Route 423 was established in 1982 along the Shinmidō-suji, the planned Minō Toll Road, and the older Settan-kaido.[4]

The Minō Toll Road section was opened to traffic on 30 May 2007 between Osaka Route 9 and the northern terminus at the Ikeda–Minoh route of National Route 423, completing the route.[5] On 10 December 2017 the highway was connected to the Shin-Meishin Expressway at the northern terminus of the Ikeda–Minoh route and the toll road.[6]
