The Road Development Authority (RDA) says that galvanized safety barriers will be constructed on both sides of the road in dangerous and accident-prone areas in the upcountry.
The RDA said that there are approximately 500 kilometres of such places in the Nuwara Eliya district alone.
Stating that the construction of approximately 15 kilometres of safety barriers has been completed, the RDA said priority has been given to areas where traffic accidents have occurred in the past.
The RDA further said that under this, plans have been made to construct galvanized safety barriers at dangerous locations on roads in the Kandy, Matale and Badulla districts as well. (Newswire)
