Between the crossing with national road 17 in Warsaw and the junction with national road 50 in Stojadła the national road 2 was completely a priority road ({{convert|19.4|km|mi}}). In 2011 alterations were made on this section – the traffic signals were installed and in Dębe Wielkie a roundabout has been built.

In August 2012 a motorway bypass of Mińsk Mazowiecki has been opened and the course of road 2 was assigned to that route. On December 17, 2012, by the ordinance of General Director of National Roads and Highways, the old route Choszczówka Stojecka – Mińsk Mazowiecki – Ryczołek (Kałuszyn) was renumbered as the national road 92.{{Citation
