North Korea is wrapping up construction on a new street featuring an 80-story skyscraper and dozens of apartment buildings for 10,000 Pyongyang families, the country’s leader Kim Jong Un reportedly said during a visit to the site this week.
According to the party-run Rodong Sinmun on Wednesday, Kim reiterated a revised deadline for the new neighborhood to “perfectly finish” and open to residents by April 15, a major holiday celebrating founding leader Kim Il Sung’s 110th birthday.
