The roads are needed to allow heavy equipment access to a lake created by the quake three weeks ago. The equipment will be used to create channels to drain water from the quake-lakes. If the earthen dams surrounding the lake collapse, the water could inundate populated areas. The government has evacuated 200-thousand people. They've also set up nine surveillance cameras to monitor the lake.Chinese television also showed pictures of a bridge that had been reinforced. Some of the water that will be released from the like will pass under it.(NATS IN CHINESE: "By 12am of June 2, the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Province has caused 69,019 deaths, 373,573 injuries, plus 18,627 missing." )Meanwhile, Chinese officials again raised the death toll.
