In the urban area of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, a smooth road follows the rolling terrain, passing through urban areas and suburbs, and leading to Bugisera District, Oriental Province. This section of the road is part of a project to upgrade the Bouquesera International Airport Road. The project was launched in March 2019 and was constructed by China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. with a total length of 13.8 kilometers. A few days ago, the project has basically completed the progress of the project, which is part of the Bougaysera International Airport Road.

The project adopts a localized management model, and most types of work employ local workers. Project manager Tian Chong introduced that there are currently more than 500 local employees in the project. Since the start of construction, the project has trained thousands of skilled workers, providing many opportunities for local people to find employment and training.

“This road is built to a high standard and looks beautiful,” Habinez said. “A lot of people take this road every day, and there was a lot of traffic before the road was upgraded, especially in the urban area of Kigali. The road was narrow. The road was upgraded. It not only relieves traffic pressure, but also promotes trade.”

“I have been working in China Road and Bridge since 2016 and am very satisfied with the work conditions. I can pay for my children’s tuition and have a good life in Kigali,” said Liliana Nikuze, secretary of the project office. CRBC has provided employment opportunities for me and many Rwandans, greatly improving our lives and incomes."Editor/Ma Xue
