The Yeongdong Expressway is a freeway in South Korea. Numbered 50, it connects the Seoul area with Gangwon Province. It is named from Yeongdong, an old name for Gangwon. The road has its western end in Namdong-gu of Incheon Metropolitan City. Its eastern end lies in Gangneung near the east coast. From Incheon to Gangneung, the expressway covers 234.39 kilometers. Much of the expressway is four lanes wide, though a two-lane portion of the expressway near Yongin has become a notorious bottleneck.
