Sinamalé Bridge Maintenance Resumes With Local Training Initiative

Second Harbour Engineering Company Ltd. (HSEC), a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), has been awarded a three-year maintenance contract for the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge (Sinamalé Bridge), worth US$3.6 million, resuming work after a three-year hiatus. The contract includes a training programme so that Maldivians can take over the bridge's maintenance and repair work when the contract expires.
