A section of the Hatton–Colombo main road at Rozella in Watawala has been placed under close observation after persistent heavy rainfall raised concerns over possible road subsidence.

As a precautionary measure, authorities have restricted the affected stretch to a single lane to ensure the safety of motorists travelling through the area.

Drivers using the Hatton–Colombo main road between Hatton and Kitulgala have been advised to exercise extreme caution, as adverse weather conditions continue to impact the region.

Officials are closely monitoring the situation and have warned that further traffic restrictions may be imposed if the condition of the road deteriorates. Motorists are urged to follow traffic control measures and cooperate with authorities while passing through the affected section.
