GTX-A Samseong Station Rebar Omission Sparks Audit, June Opening Unclear

South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has launched an audit after a major rebar omission was confirmed in construction on the GTX-A Samseong Station section. The issue was reportedly discovered in November last year, but reinforcement work was delayed. The ministry is auditing the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Korea National Railway, and says it will thoroughly verify whether the reinforcement plan is appropriate. As the Samseong Station section is a key connection point on the GTX-A line, construction safety and schedule management have become central issues. Whether the planned June opening can proceed as scheduled remains uncertain, depending on reinforcement work and the audit results. Source: mk.co.kr
