The construction of the Rajagiriya flyover is scheduled to begin in July this year as an interim traffic solution in the Megapolis plan, Deputy Minister Dr. Harsha de Silva announced today.
The flyover is expected to reduce the current travel duration to half from Nelum Pokuna to Battaramulla.
In a Facebook post Dr. Silva said the work is scheduled to begin in July and end in January 2018.
“The project is financed via a soft loan from the Spanish Government and the project which I have been fighting for a long time and I am very happy that finally we are going to see the construction will get underway,” he said.

Flyovers are not the best solution as has been found out by many countries

Even to make Babies you need to wait for 9 months. So please wait for 2 to 3 years to construct the bridge.

Don't expect traffic congestion to ease until public transport is improved.

how much did they take to produce the video? 50% of the loan?

On a soft loan from Spain! This is in itself an achievement, not a loan without proper procedures on unfavourable terms from China

Costs more than Rs.2 admin cost. Reasonable Rs.20 for each entry.

CORRECT, PROMISES ARE LIKE BABIES, FUN TO MAKE, VERY DIFFICULT TO DELIVER.

The use of any new or improved roads should be taxed at a nominal rate (ranging from Rs.2 - Rs.10 with the use of a Electronic Road Pricing System) depending on vehicle type with the exception for public transport buses.

Superb news! keep up the good work!
goldsandasia Friday, 13 May 2016 02:24 PM
Very nice project..........until Battaramulla, where the full load of traffic ends in this small narrow town and creating an even bigger mess than now. Planning has to go more far than Battaramulla, taking out the through-traffic and keep only business traffic in this town

Do it Sir. Then we will believe in what you say... No need of lip service...
