In November last year, the Government announced that it had decided to commence the construction of the Rambukkana-Galagedara section of the Central Expressway Phase III using domestic funds.
Presenting the 2026 Budget proposal to Parliament, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said it has been proposed to commence construction work on the Rambukkana-Galagedara section using local funding, taking into account the country’s fiscal space.
He said a total of Rs. 20,000 million has been allocated for this purpose, comprising remaining provisions from the Road Development Authority’s debt repayments and an additional budgetary allocation.
The economic crisis experienced by Sri Lanka led to the suspension of numerous road development projects, including the construction of the Central Expressway up to the Rambukkana-Galagedara section. (Newswire)
