10 January, 2018
Sri Lanka’s Road Development Authority (RDA) on Tuesday announced changes in traffic movements owing to the commencement of work on the new Kelani Bridge project.
The RDA said the exit from the Colombo-Katunayake expressway to the Colombo-Kandy road for traffic moving towards Kelaniya-Wattala will be closed with effect from January 10, when construction begins.
“Motorists going towards Colombo (from Katunayake) can use the Colombo-Katunayake expressway as usual. Motorists using the expressway and going toward Kelaniya and Peliyagoda exit can use the Peliyagoda interchange to enter the Colombo-Kandy road. Motorists coming on the Colombo-Katunayake expressway towards Wattala and Peliyagoda can use the Peliyagoda interchange to enter the Colombo-Negombo road,” the announcement, which appears in newspapers, said.
The new six-lane bridge over the Kelani River adjacent to the existing Kelani Bridge (Japan Friendship Bridge) is being built at a cost of Rs. 45 billion and will run upto the new Colombo Port City in Fort.
