The construction on the road started in 1954 by King Mahendra, and the road was initially named Tikabhairab-Hetauda Road.^[3][4] However, in 1962, it was named Kanti Highway after the Queen Kanti of Nepal.^[3]

In the late 1990s, the Government of Nepal recognised this road as an alternative highway of Tribhuvan Highway (H02) that connects Kathmandu to Birgunj on the Nepal-India border.^[3][5]
