Press question Shinansan Line tunnel construction collapse may be created by construction impatience.

Special TImes write the collapsed part is the core section of the Shinansan Line Construction Project, has a Y-shaped branch point, which is an important part of connecting Siheung and Ansan section. Progress rate was 58.32% slower than other parts (example 88.85%of another part). This was a very complex part in design and poor ground. Despite this slow progress the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport brought the completion date to an earlier date of end of 2026 which was 28 months earlier than contractor wanted.

Up to now three people indicted for safety negligence from POSCO E&C and two subcontractors but none from Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
