The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority announced on the 30th that it will officially begin construction of infrastructure for District 11-2 in Songdo International City (1.53㎢) to create an advanced industrial cluster.


A total project cost of 150.1 billion KRW will be invested to develop infrastructure such as 10.9 km of roads and water supply and sewage systems. After announcing the basic and detailed design bids in March, the design will be completed by next year, with construction starting in 2026 and completion scheduled for 2028.


Songdo District 11-2 consists of residential land and research facility land, and on the northern side, an alternative habitat for birds will be created to provide a habitat for internationally rare bird species such as the black-faced spoonbill and the Saunders's gull, which are endangered waterbirds.
