01 Jan 2021

The 1.2-km-long extension of the Marine Drive from Colpetty Hill Street in Dehiwala will be completed within 70 days, Minister of Highways Johnston Fernando said. He said this following a tour of the construction site on Marine Drive on Tuesday (29). Accordingly, this stretch will consist of four lanes. “We will spend a sum of Rs. 228 million for the proposed new bridge along the road. The aim of our Government is to ensure the road will be of good quality. We intend to complete it as soon as possible,” he said. Fernando further said this will help ease traffic congestion between Ramakrishna Road in Wellawatte and the Dehiwala Bridge.
