    Double-track train project from Bujeon, Busan to Masan, Gyeongsangnam-do in delay 2 years. Probably more delay come. Reason tunnel collapse 10 months ago at Nakdong 1 tunnel.No injuries.

    Tunnel collapse acciden  investigation made by provate company Smart Rail rather than the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. How impartial can Smart Rail is people ask.

    Original completion date February 2021 but Smart Rail ask for extension until end 2022.

    It is private financed railway like 32.7km. It cost 1.5 trillion Korea won. Smart Rail has 13 companies including SK E&C, Samsung C&T, and Hanwha E&C participated in Smart Rail. SK E&C is lead partner.
