Construction of the Mahaiyawa tunnel on the Kandy–Jaffna A9 road is currently being fast-tracked to ease traffic congestion in the area.
The project, aimed at reducing heavy vehicle congestion along the busy stretch, is being carried out at a cost of nearly Rs. 700 million.
The development project was recently launched under the patronage of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
Once completed, the tunnel is expected to improve traffic flow and enhance connectivity along the key Kandy–Jaffna A9 route. (Newswire
