The Yeongdong Expressway is a freeway in South Korea. It connects the Seoul National Capital 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 City near the coast of the Sea of Japan (East Sea). From Incheon to Gangneung, the expressway covers 234.39 kilometers.
Much of the expressway is four lanes wide. A two-lane portion of the expressway near Yongin has become a notorious bottleneck.
