WAU, South Sudan, May 20 -- On May 17, local time, the 15th Chinese Peacekeeping Horizontal Engineering Company to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) launched the rehabilitation of a main supply route from Tonj to Romich.

南蘇丹瓦烏5月20日電 當(dāng)?shù)貢r間5月17日，我第15批赴南蘇丹（瓦烏）維和工兵分隊(duì)啟動“通季至羅米奇”主補(bǔ)給線道路施工任務(wù)。

The route to be repaired covers a total length of about 112 kilometers, which is a vital part of the supply line for the UN to carry out humanitarian relief in South Sudan. Due to long-term conflicts and natural erosion, the original road has been severely damaged, seriously inhibiting the transportation of humanitarian supplies and the travel of local residents.

此次施工任務(wù)路段全長約112公里，是聯(lián)合國在南蘇丹人道主義救援補(bǔ)給線的重要組成部分。由于長期戰(zhàn)亂和自然侵蝕，原有道路損毀嚴(yán)重，嚴(yán)重制約了人道主義物資運(yùn)輸和當(dāng)?shù)鼐用癯鲂小?/p>

Upon receiving the task, the Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent immediately organized surveys and worked out a construction plan, aiming to complete the rehabilitation process including road flattening, drainage system construction, and subgrade strengthening in 50 working days. According to the plan, the rehabilitation work will involve 43 troops and 23 engineering machines. These troops will camp outdoors throughout the whole process.

我維和工兵分隊(duì)受領(lǐng)任務(wù)后，迅速組織勘察并制訂施工方案，計(jì)劃在50個工作日內(nèi)完成道路平整、排水系統(tǒng)修建及路基加固等工程。此次施工計(jì)劃投入官兵43人、工程機(jī)械23臺，采取全程在外宿營的方式展開作業(yè)。

It is learned that since its deployment to the mission area in December last year, the Chinese peacekeeping engineering contingent has completed underground bunker construction, internally displaced persons (IDP) camp resettlement, infrastructure upgrading and reconstruction for the Super Camp, and other tasks, winning high praise from the UNMISS.

據(jù)了解，分隊(duì)自去年12月部署至任務(wù)區(qū)以來，先后完成了地下掩體建設(shè)、難民營搬遷安置工程、超級營地基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施升級改造等任務(wù)，得到聯(lián)合國駐南蘇丹特派團(tuán)的高度評價。
