The first stage of pipeline between Wallbach and Ruswil came on stream in April 1974. In 1994, the second pipe was laid between Wallbach and Lostorf. In 1998-2003, the pipeline was prolong to Italy and the compressor station was built in Ruswil. In 2001 the 55-kilometre long interconnection to France was commissioned.
