Traffic along the Dematagoda–Peliyagoda route was disrupted this afternoon (08) after a container overturned at the Orugodawatta junction within the Grandpass Police Division.
Police said the container, travelling from Avissawella towards Peliyagoda, toppled while attempting a right turn, blocking two lanes of the busy roadway.
To ease congestion, authorities diverted vehicles from Dematagoda to Peliyagoda and vice versa through the Peliyagoda–Dematagoda lane, ensuring movement in both directions despite the obstruction.
The Police added that measures are underway to restore the road to normalcy as quickly as possible. (Newswire/ Image- Accident1st)
