Seoul to Resume Ground-leveling for Inter-Korean Transport SystemThe Army of South Korea Friday said it will restore ground-leveling work in the demilitarized zone next Monday to relink an inter-Korean railroad and a highway.The reconstruction of the inter-Korean railway and highway has been suspended since last December due to the ground freezing. When completed, trains can once again run from Seoul through Pyongyang to Shinuiju, a city on the border between Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and China, while the highway will reconnect Munsan city of South Korea with Kaesung city of the DPRK. Army engineer corps from both sides will start work simultaneously to level ground in the four-kilometer wide demilitarized zone which straddles the border, said an Army spokesman. Under an agreement signed between Seoul and Pyongyang, the recontruction of the inter-Korean transport system will be completed before October this year. |
