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 Korea’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.
OVERSEAS BUSINESS
Our business does not stay in domestic area. With rich experience and cutting-edge technologies in the field of road, we are trying to expand our business abroad, especially to developing countries. We would like to share our best practices with those countries to support the road network development and improve their quality of life. For that purpose, we put an emphasis on development assistance as well as on participation in various road projects.
