Pyongyang–Kaesong Motorway

The Pyongyang-Kaesong Motorway (Korean: 평양개성고속도로; Hancha: 平壤–開城高速道路), is a controlled-access highway in North Korea.

It connects the capital Pyongyang to the Joint Security Area at the Korean Demilitarized Zone via Sariwon and Kaesong.

[4] Construction began in 1987 in preparation for the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students to be held in Pyongyang in 1989.

The project was economically ill-advised because North Korea had hitherto consistently focused on developing railway links for transport, diminishing the need for new expressways.

[5] Construction finished on April 15, 1992, the birthday of North Korea president Kim Il Sung.
