The road network and road economy had been developed in accordance with the development of Azerbaijan up to 1918. At that period the development of road infrastructure was carried out in the inner areas of the regions.

Despite increase in number of motors towards 1918, road equipment was still weak. The motorway construction base was created and supplied with equipments and mechanisms. There were 10 caterpillars, 15 lorries, 4 graders, 12 battledores and mechanisms.

The total length of motor roads equaled 3850 kilometers in 1918. This extension was obtained due to natural roads basically.

The Ministry of Road, Post and Telegraph was created within the National Council in connection with establishment of the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan on May 28, 1918. After the downfall of the Republic in 1920 the Department of Motor and Land Roads was established under the Department of the People's Commissariat Council. The said Department was transformed into the Department of Highway-Water Economy in 1920, and in 1924 to Department of Motor and Land Roads, in 1928 to the Head Department of Motor-Land Roads and Motor Transport (Azbashyolnegliyyat), and was again transformed into the Department of Highways in 1937.

The Head Road Department was established in 1938 in base of the Department of Highways and the local roads were transferred under its jurisdiction.

In 1953 the Head Road Department was transferred to the USSR Ministry of Transport, and a bit later to the USSR Ministry of Motor Transport and Highways. This ministry was abolished in 1956 and the Head Highways Department was established in its base. The Head Department was abolished in 1974 and the Ministry of Motor Roads Construction and Operation was created in its base. The Ministry was abolished in 1989 and the Production Unit for Repair and Construction of Motor Roads (Azeravtoyol) was established instead.
