CONSTRUCTION OF CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY TO RESUME

Construction work on the section of the Central Expressway between Kadawatha and Mirigama, which was stalled in 2022 due to the economic crisis, is set to resume on September 17.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will inaugurate the project, which is being restarted with a 500 million US dollar loan from the Export-Import Bank of China.

The 37-kilometre stretch of road is scheduled to be completed by mid-2028.

In addition, work will also commence on the Kadawatha Interchange Hub and the first 500 metres of the expressway from Kadawatha.
