History
In the older E-road system that was used from 1950 to 1985 (in the Nordic countries until 1992), the E8 went
Oeynhausen – Hanover – Berlin – Poznań – Krośniewice – Łowicz – Warsaw – USSR border[1] (Brest). It connected with E1, E2, E5, E31, E107, E108 and E113 routes.[2]
The current E8 route was introduced in early 1990s between Tromsø and Tornio[3] and extended from Tornio to Turku in 2001.[3] In the older E road system it had been called E78 since 1962.
