The Road Development Authority (RDA) has closed the Sri Pada – Norton Bridge road via Ginigathhena and Diyagala from June 14 to 24 for urgent repairs.
The closure follows concerns over a severely damaged bridge at risk of collapse. A new Bailey bridge will be constructed during this period.
Motorists are advised to use alternate routes via Kalugala, Polpitiya, and Laxapana. Residents say the bridge has been in disrepair for years, with recent rains worsening its condition. (Newswire)
