South Korea Revives DMZ Railway Project to Link with North Korea
Seoul is restarting a long-stalled railway project near the Demilitarized Zone, aiming to eventually reconnect with North Korea's eastern rail network despite recent tensions.
South Korea will resume work on a railway project near the Demilitarized Zone that has been stalled for years. The move is intended to eventually connect with North Korea's eastern rail network.
The revival comes despite the diplomatic deadlock on the peninsula and North Korea's destruction of cross-border rail and road links in 2024. Those actions had further strained relations.
Seoul frames the project as part of a broader push to improve inter-Korean ties, signaling that it remains open to reengagement even while Pyongyang has cut off physical connections.
