South Korea Resumes Seoul–Yangpyeong Expressway Construction

The presidential office announced on Friday that South Korea will resume construction of the long-delayed Seoul–Yangpyeong Expressway, a 27-kilometer four-lane route linking Gamil-dong in Hanam with Yangpyeong, at an estimated cost of 1.7 trillion won ($1.3 billion). The project, halted in July 2023 amid allegations tied to land owned by first lady Kim Keon Hee, will undergo a new feasibility study, and a separate prosecutor probe remains ongoing.
