Kadawatha–Mirigama Expressway work to resume on September 17

Colombo, Sept. 14 (Daily Mirror) - Construction work on section of the Central Expressway between Kadawatha and Mirigama, which had been stalled since mid-2022 due to the economic crisis, will resume on September 17.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will inaugurate the construction work, and a USD 500 million loan has been secured from the Export-Import Bank of China to restart the project.

The 37-kilometre stretch is scheduled for completion by mid-2028. 

Alongside this, work will also commence on the Kadawatha Interchange Hub and the first 500 metres of the expressway from Kadawatha.
