Daejeon Urban Railway Tram / Daejeon City

Daejeon City announced that the construction project for Urban Railway Line 2 Tram received project plan approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 22nd.

Project plan approval is the final administrative procedure required before construction begins under the Urban Railway Act, and the city plans to hold a groundbreaking ceremony in December.

The hydrogen tram vehicles for Daejeon Urban Railway Line 2 are currently being manufactured by Hyundai Rotem, following a contract signed in July worth 293.4 billion won.

The civil engineering and construction work will be divided into 15 sections to increase the participation of local construction companies. For six of these sections, construction orders have already been requested from the Public Procurement Service between September and October.

Accordingly, starting with the bid opening for one section on the 20th and two sections on December 5th, successful bidders (construction companies) will be selected sequentially through qualification reviews. The city also plans to issue orders for the remaining nine sections in the first and second quarters of 2025.
