Construction
editConstruction started in 2010. It is not known when the route will be completed. The lanes for the two directions of travel should not be separated in the middle by green strips or guardrails. At the same time, the Sinŭiju–Kaesŏng high-speed railway is to be built, designed for a maximum speed of 200 km/h.[1] When completed, it closes a gap in Asian Highway 1.
