The newly constructed flyovers in Kompannavidiya (Slave Island) were inaugurated by President Ranil Wickremesinghe today (Apr 08).
According to the President’s Media Division (PMD), the flyovers cover the railway line linking Kompannavidiya with Justice Akbar Mawatha and Uttarananda Mawatha.
The rest of the construction work of this project is scheduled to be completed soon. The estimated cost for the entire project is Rs. 5.278 billion, the PMD added.
In 2020, the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers was granted to construct 02 flyovers near the Kompannavidiya Railway Station.
The decision was taken as the railway lines across Uttarananda Mawatha and Judge Akbar Mawatha in Kompannavidiya caused heavy traffic congestion during peak hours. (Newswire)
