TAEGU URBAN TRANSPOR

closed

The Taegu Urban Transport Project supports the Taegu City Government's (TCG) efforts to improve the transportation system within Taegu City through the construction of a major urban expressway and associated road investments, introduction and application of Traffic System Management (TSM) techniques, and strengthening of TCG's transportation planning capacity. To that end, the project includes: (a) land acquisition and construction of the Shinchon Expressway, connecting roads, and associated bridge widenings. The project furthermore entails (b) civil works for intersection improvements, pedestrian facilities, and other TSM and safety improvements, and the provision of traffic signals and other equipment; as well as (c) advisory services for transportation planning and construction supervision. The main benefits of the project would be reduced congestion and improved traffic flows within Taegu City, especially in and around the Central Business District.
