The southern expressway will be commissioned in June next year, while the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
The Director of the Road Development Authority Mr. Ranjith Premasiri said that construction work on the Colombo outer circular road is also progressing at present. The Outer Circular Road would connect the three expressways, namely, the Southern Expressway, the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway and the Colombo-Kandy Elevated Expressway, enabling the commuters to by-pass the commercial hub of Colombo.
All these expressways will be administered by the Road Development Authority. Meanwhile, expeditious steps have been taken to renovate the Kandy – Jaffna A-9 Road which was damaged by the recent floods. Mr. Premasiri said that repair work of the Vavuniya to Jaffna sector of this road has been given to a Chinese Company. The Kurunegalla – Dambulla Road is being developed with assistance from the World Bank.
