Recently, the No. 2 Road of the Basnagoda Reservoir Project in Sri Lanka, in which Sinohydro Bureau 14 participated in construction, was completed on schedule.

"During construction, we adopted a phased alternating operation mode and installed reflective guide signs to ensure project progress while fully safeguarding the daily travel safety of local residents," according to reports. The bureau's project team adopted refined construction techniques and deployed professional equipment to ensure road surface stability; in response to the local tropical rainforest climate, they optimized the drainage design, significantly improving drainage capacity during the rainy season and consolidating the foundation of road quality from the source. Testing showed that the road compaction tests fully met standards, and all technical indicators complied with specification requirements, demonstrating high-standard engineering quality.

"Before, it took 40 minutes to go around the mountain road; now it takes just 10 minutes by car to reach the village entrance!" Speaking of the changes brought by the new road, nearby residents could hardly hide their joy and praised this convenience road. As an important livelihood support project, No. 2 Road has cut travel time on the original mountain detour by 75%, benefiting about 200 households in five surrounding villages. It has not only opened up a convenient "livelihood corridor" for local people but also enhanced residents' sense of happiness in their daily lives through concrete action.

The Basnagoda Reservoir Project is an important livelihood project under China-Sri Lanka cooperation. It covers reservoir construction, road upgrades, and other supporting facilities, aiming to improve local residents' living conditions through infrastructure upgrades and boost regional economic development. The smooth completion of No. 2 Road marks the further realization of the project's livelihood benefits and stands as a vivid practice of China-Sri Lanka friendship in grassroots livelihood areas.
