Notes and caveats
First K-RIDE record on this site. Corporation set to Central as a placeholder — the four corridors radiate outward across the city; not yet mapped to wards. sanction_date is month-level precision only ("October 2020"), exact day not confirmed. Foundation stone was laid 2023-06-20 by the Prime Minister — noted here rather than as a formal event, since "foundation stone laid" does not fit any type in this site's event schema. The project was first conceived in 1983 and reworked over decades; that pre-2020 history is not yet documented here with dated, sourced figures.
