The Jungang Expressway is an expressway in South Korea. Its name literally means "Central Expressway," and for much of its length it runs through mountainous terrain near the country's east-west center line, including the national parks of Chiaksan and Sobaeksan. It shares the route number 55 with the Daegu-Busan Expressway. It covers a total distance of roughly 289 kilometers.
The Jungang Expressway combines with the Daegu-Busan Expressway to form Expressway 55. The combined southern end is in Sasang-gu, Busan, although for much of the distance between Busan and Daegu it runs together with the Gyeongbu Expressway. Its northern end is in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. The expressway was completed in December 2001.
There is also a short branch of the Daegu-Busan section near the southern end. This is numbered 551.
