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.
南苏丹瓦乌5月20日电 当地时间5月17日，我第15批赴南苏丹（瓦乌）维和工兵分队启动“通季至罗米奇”主补给线道路施工任务。
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.
此次施工任务路段全长约112公里，是联合国在南苏丹人道主义救援补给线的重要组成部分。由于长期战乱和自然侵蚀，原有道路损毁严重，严重制约了人道主义物资运输和当地居民出行。
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.
我维和工兵分队受领任务后，迅速组织勘察并制订施工方案，计划在50个工作日内完成道路平整、排水系统修建及路基加固等工程。此次施工计划投入官兵43人、工程机械23台，采取全程在外宿营的方式展开作业。
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.
据了解，分队自去年12月部署至任务区以来，先后完成了地下掩体建设、难民营搬迁安置工程、超级营地基础设施升级改造等任务，得到联合国驻南苏丹特派团的高度评价。
