This was a long felt need, this should have been done long time ago, when they opened the New Katunayake airport . But its better late than never. At least the first impression when arriving in Sri Lanka would be much better than the former eye sore, of a road with open meat stalls , dirt all over the roads and dirty tea boutiques and dirty buildings on the side of the road. At least now the tourists would be spared that horror.

Just like in the US line each side of the highway with a band of trees of many varieties. This will help absorb some of the emission from cars, create an ecosystem and be aesthetically pleasing. Do not put up electric lines and electric poles but bury them in pipes to hold the electric lines and fiber optic lines.

Long overdue. I remember the late Hon. Dudley Senenayake laying the foundation stone in the late 60's. The subsequent Sirima govt. did not take this on, but widened the CMB - Katunayake Rd in time for the Non-Aligned Conference. A much needed artery road connecting the National Airports to the Financial capital.

Public will take these seriously, but those who got millions out of these contract must be laughing at our ignorance. This would have been a three lane express way on each side but to accommodate the payment of commission would have been reduced to two lanes each way for example and we are indebted. The more expressways the more commission into the pcokets to buy condos and apartments in Dubai, resorts in Maldives and houses in LA. Thank you
