(LANKAPUVATH | COLOMBO) – President Ranil Wickremesinghe inaugurated the flyover connecting Kompanna Veediya and Justice Akbar Mawatha, a short while ago in the presence of the Ministry of Transport and Highways, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.
The rest of the construction work of this project is planned to be completed by the month of September, and the estimated amount for the entire project is Rs. 5,278,081,272.43, the PMD reported.
It has been observed that nearly 3 hours of time is wasted daily due to the railway crossing located in Kompanna Veediya area, which is a very busy commercial city with various institutions including government offices, hospitals, religious places, restaurants and movie theatres.
In order to avoid the delay, the construction work of this project, which is implemented by the Road Development Authority, is being carried out by Maga Engineering Company, the PMD said in a statement.
