Gyeonggi Province railway infrastructure development
Overview
Gyeonggi Province and local municipalities are actively seeking to integrate various major railway projects into the 5th National Railway Network Construction Plan, which covers the period from 2026 to 2035. Efforts include requests for the inclusion of 40 specific projects, such as GTX lines D through H and KTX/SRT extensions, alongside advocacy for exempting new towns from preliminary feasibility studies to avoid transportation delays.
Regional leaders are also focusing on specific corridors, such as the proposed Gyeonggi Southern Metropolitan Railway, which aims to connect critical industrial zones. Meanwhile, officials are addressing implementation challenges for existing projects, such as the Gangdong-Hanam-Namyangju metropolitan railway. Following several failed bids for specific sections of that project, authorities are evaluating contracting methods—comparing turnkey approaches against separate design-build methods—to mitigate potential construction delays for residents of upcoming new cities.
