Amazing! A road makes money! . . . why not build another one! Maybe a highway to Trinco . . . or a rail system to Avisawella through Meegoda?

What is the annual payment for the loan taken out to build this?

RDA should consider implementing motorway maintenance schedule as it looks a little sad and needs maintenance at various places after years of usage (normal for motorways), important on safety aspects too for the vehicles and occupants. Also should have a plan to replace manual toll booths with electronic charging which will eliminate snap trade union actions too.

Pay back the loan with this money

Did you ask whether the traffic volume also increased increased or just the toll?

Atleast try to put the road lamps back on at night now its extremely dangerous in the night to drive in the dark.
Fees too high Wednesday, 27 December 2023 03:05 PM
The high fees are just another tax on users of the expressway. Record profits being made but no reduction in fees. Government continues it unfairness every step.
