Nugegoda flyover
opened
The pre-fabricated flyover at
Nugegoda to lesser traffic jams was opened on Friday (Jan 23) at 10 am. The
flyover built at the Nugegoda High Level Road junction is expected to reduce the
existing traffic jam along the busy highway. The work on the flyover was
commenced in October last year and completed within three and half
months.Construction work commenced on a concept of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa and a plan of the late Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle. This is the 2nd flyover built and vested upon public under the "Mahinda Chinthana."
The Nugegoda flyover currently has two lanes and is 261 metres long and 8.5 metres wide. It is expected to be expanded to four lanes. The cost of the British Government funded project is 878 million Rupees.
The next two flyovers will be built at Dehiwala and Rajagiriya junctions. More flyovers have been planned to build in Kohuwela, Boralesgamuwa, Armour Street, the Hilton Roundabout, the Lipton Circus, Maradana, Kirulapone and Slave Island as well as in Mahawa, Polgahawela, Ja-Ela and Veyangoda.
