Traffic patterns for vehicles entering and leaving Colombo have been temporarily altered to facilitate construction work at the Kadawatha System Interchange and along a 500-metre stretch toward Mirigama, police said.
Motorists are advised to use the highway access road from the Kadawatha town traffic light intersection to the Eldeniya traffic light intersection as an alternative route. The measure has been introduced to manage traffic flow while one lane of the Colombo–Kandy main road remains closed in the Bandarawatta–Puwakpitiya area.
Police stated that the lane closure is necessary for the ongoing development of the Kadawatha–Mirigama expressway interchange and will remain in effect until March 15 this year.
Drivers are urged to follow road signs and instructions from traffic police when using the diverted routes.
