What are you talking my friend - now the margin had gone up to 60% - 70% as it has to be shared to UNP members also as Gamage is leading the business along with UPFA Ministers.

Some people talk like constructing this Highway same like carpeting road in village.

Jim pappa Monday, 10 February 2014 01:10 PM

The high cost of construction is a concern. But ToA, think of the time and fuel saved, not to mention the wear and tear, by the highway users.The highway bus from Galle to Maharagama, which is very popular, takes just 1h. 30m. saving 2hours to commuters.

Who paid for the land acquire payments and building bridges ? Your "Bappa " ???

Seelawathie Monday, 10 February 2014 10:25 AM

Out of this money how much played out by Ministers and their catchers.

ind Monday, 10 February 2014 10:22 AM

Most of the money go to acquire property. Other than that, bridges also cost heavily. Not only to carpet the road. Specially this is within Colombo district.

Nishantha Monday, 10 February 2014 09:54 AM

Its called miracle of Asia, take beggars into custody and spend as highest as possible for one km.
