closed

The objective of the project is to help increase the efficiency of transport in the economically dynamic Kyonggi region around Seoul by (a) physically improving the transport infrastructure and (b) supporting the preparation of a comprehensive transport investment program. As a first stage in multimodal transport investments needed to meet transport demand, two high-capacity toll expressways would be constructed under the project as parts of future bypass roads around Seoul. In parallel with the expressway construction, Government would further strengthen transport coordination in the region and also conduct a traffic management study in secondary cities affected by the new expressways. Further, a dialogue would be maintained with the Bank concerning planned research on traffic flow and congestion analysis preliminary to preparation of a Highway Capacity Manual for Korean conditions.
