Work to improve the road between the city of Kaesong and Kaesong Industrial Complex is likely to begin at the start of next week.
A government official explained today that the decision was made pursuant to agreement between the Kaesong Industrial Complex Management Committee, LH Construction and the North Korean authorities.
“The agreement has not yet been signed, but we are hoping to start the construction at the beginning of next week,” the official explained.
“Our side has taken on responsibility for planning the road repairs and supervising the construction,” he went on. “The weather could change things, but the construction should require three months and is expected to cost 1.8 billion South Korean won.”
Aside from the aforementioned construction, there are also plans to reconstruct two turning points for buses serving the complex. The human resources for the construction will be provided by North Korea.
