One lane of the Colombo–Kandy main road will be temporarily closed near Kadawatha due to construction work, Police said.

The closure will affect a 500-meter stretch of road from the Kadawatha interchange towards Mirigama.

Traffic restrictions will be in place during this period, and motorists entering and exiting Colombo are advised to use alternative routes to avoid inconvenience.

As an alternative route, vehicles can travel from the Kadawatha New Town traffic lights via the expressway access road up to the Eldeniya traffic light junction. (Newswire)
