North Korea plans to make Phyongui Line double track?

I knew that North Korea once planned to make main lines double tracks. But, the plan seems to be suspended due to bad economic state.

The location is near Sinanju Chongnyon station(ウィキペディア).
We can guess that
・renewal construction is undergoing
・double track plan is undergoing
・double track plan or renewal plan was implemented only to be abandoned


There is enormous room to be improved on railways in North Korea.
