New roads connected to Pyongyang’s unfinished Ryugyong Hotel

Two new access roads added to front of hotel, photos reveal

Two new access roads appear to have been connected to Pyongyang's iconic-but-unfinished Ryugyong Hotel, January-dated photos seen by NK News show.

The addition of asphalt and painted road markings to two causeways connecting the hotel entrance to nearby Sinwon street follows the July 2017 removal of a large wall that for years blocked public access to the hotel area.
