Korea Expressway Corporation was established on February 15, 1969 to
construct and manage expressways throughout the nation.
We began building expressways at the end of the 1960s, when the nation’s
economic conditions were so unfavorable that its per capita income was less
than USD 200. These expressways which we were only able to build after
overcoming many serious adversities, became the basis for Kore’s dramatic
economic growth, called "the Miracle of the Han River."
Koreans can boast one of the world’s top ten economies because of the
successful completion of such monumental public works as the Gyeongbu
(Seoul-Busan) expressway. It is not too much to say that these landmark
events have been the primary impetus for the entire Korean economy until
today.
We plan to increase the length of our expressways to 6,160 km by 2020. When
this plan becomes a reality, people will be able to reach an expressway
anywhere in the country within thirty minutes.
We are now using IT technologies to develop truly "intelligent highways".Just
around the corner is the development of "smart highways" that will
seamlessly integrate people, automobiles, and roads.
Korea Expressway Corporation also plans to take advantage of its experience,technological acumen, and capabilities in road construction and management
to explore overseas markets.
This brochure outlines our achievements over the past forty-plus years. It is
also meant to demonstrate our commitment to becoming a representative
Korean public enterprise and a world-class roads services company. I hope it
will help to widen your understanding and appreciation of Korea Expressway
Corporation.
Thank you.
