Sichuan Road & Bridge Group
Sichuan Road & Bridge Group was established in 1998 as a state-owned construction and infrastructure conglomerate, with the Sichuan Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) as its ultimate controlling shareholder. The parent entity, Shudao Investment Group, consolidates provincial infrastructure assets under a single investment holding structure. The firm deploys capital across a wide asset-class mix: toll-road and bridge concessions in China, Turkey, Norway, and Bangladesh; lithium-ion battery materials production alongside strategic co-investor BYD Co., Ltd.; and mining rights to significant potash, phosphate, and base-metal reserves in Eritrea, including the Colluli Potash Deposit and the Asmara Mining Project. Direct investments encompass the Yaxi Expressway in Sichuan, the Dhaka Bypass Expressway, and the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge — the world's longest suspension bridge at its opening. The group also operates a clean-energy portfolio with an installed capacity of over 10 gigawatts in Sichuan (per public record). The organization employs a structure that combines balance-sheet construction with strategic equity holdings in energy-transition supply chains. It maintains a consistent presence on the Fortune China 500 rankings and conducts its corporate social responsibility programs through a dedicated CSR initiative. In recent years, Shudao Investment Group has further consolidated the road-and-bridge assets under its umbrella, reinforcing the provincial government's role as capital allocator. What structurally differentiates Sichuan Road & Bridge from a generic state-owned builder is its vertical integration into the mineral inputs required for lithium-iron-phosphate batteries — combining infrastructure concessions with upstream mining and midstream battery-materials processing. This hybrid mandate makes it both a construction firm and a direct investor in the electrification supply chain that BYD scales into finished vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
Who ultimately controls Sichuan Road & Bridge Group?
The Sichuan Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) acts as the ultimate controlling shareholder. The firm is consolidated under Shudao Investment Group Co., Ltd., which serves as the parent holding company for the province's infrastructure assets (per public record).
How does the firm's relationship with BYD work?
BYD Co., Ltd. appears as both a co-investor and a strategic offtake partner in lithium-ion battery materials. Sichuan Road & Bridge supplies the upstream mineral processing capacity, while BYD represents a downstream battery and vehicle manufacturing channel.
What international infrastructure assets does the firm own?
The portfolio includes the Hålogaland Bridge in Narvik, Norway; the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey; the Dhaka Bypass Expressway in Bangladesh; and several toll-road concessions across Sichuan Province. These are typically held as long-duration concession or EPC-plus-equity stakes.
What mining reserves does the group hold in Africa?
The firm holds rights to the Colluli Potash Deposit and the Asmara Mining Project in Eritrea, which include base-metal and phosphate ore reserves. These assets feed into the group's vertically integrated materials strategy.
Is Sichuan Road & Bridge primarily a construction company or an investor?
It operates as both. The construction division bids on large-scale civil infrastructure projects — highways, bridges, and tunnels — while the investment arm retains equity interests in the resulting concessions and deploys capital into energy-transition minerals and clean-energy generation.
