The inauguration of the new bridge across Kelani River at Peliyagoda is scheduled to be held on November 24.
The 6-lane bridge constructed through a concessionary loan of JPY 35,020 million from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) extends southwards from Colombo-Katunayake Expressway, and divides towards Port Access Road ending at Ingurukade Intersection and Baseline Road ending at Orugodawatte Intersection.
The bridge was constructed with advanced technology from Japan culminating in several milestones in transport technology in Sri Lanka.
