Construction of Another Street Launched in the DPRK

On February 25 this year there was a blasting, which signalled groundbreaking of the construction of a new street in the Sopho area at the northern gateway to Pyongyang, the capital city of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  

This was another blasting, following the blasting on February 15 for groundbreaking of the construction of 10 000 flats as a second stage in the Hwasong area in the city.

According to the plan for building 50 000 flats in the city, which was put forth at the Eighth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the country completed in April 2022 the project for building 10 000 flats on Songhwa Street, launched in March 2021, and has nearly completed the project for building 10 000 flats as the first stage in the Hwasong area, launched in February 2022.

This year the project for building 4 100 flats in the Sopho area, the second-stage project for building 10 000 flats in the Hwasong area and the construction of the Kangdong Greenhouse Farm are going on simultaneously on the construction front in the capital city.
