The Baladaksha Mawatha Flyover was officially opened to the public today (19) to ease traffic congestion in Colombo.
The flyover has been constructed to facilitate smooth traffic flow from Galle Face towards Chittampalam A. Gardiner Mawatha in the Kompanna Vidiya area. It is 340 metres in length and 11 metres in width.
This is the third flyover completed under the ongoing flyover development project aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the city of Colombo.
The project was carried out by the Road Development Authority (RDA) with funding provided by the Government of Sri Lanka, under the Sustainable Road Development Programme implemented by the Ministry of Transport, Highways and Urban Development.
Authorities expect the new flyover to significantly improve traffic movement and reduce travel time for commuters in the area.
