(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) – The Ministry of Highways has taken steps to commence construction work on the segment of the Central Expressway between Pothuhera and Galagedara on Saturday the 19th.
The groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Saturday the 19th at 11.30 am under the patronage of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Although the construction of several stages of the Central Expressway had commenced earlier, the construction of the 32.5 kilometer section from Pothuhera to Galagedara (Kandy) in Stage 3 had to be postponed due to various reasons.
Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa had recently instructed the relevant authorities to resolve the existing issues and commence the relevant constructions expeditiously.
