The Road Development Authority (RDA) has announced a special program to repair roads and bridges damaged by recent adverse weather conditions.
According to RDA Director General S. M. P. Suriyabandara, severe flooding has impacted roads in the Northern, North Central, and Eastern Provinces. A bridge in Batticaloa has also collapsed due to the floods, prompting plans to construct an alternative bridge swiftly.
In addition, landslides have damaged roads in the Uva and Central Provinces. Efforts are currently underway to clear these blocked roads and restore transportation access.
The RDA aims to address these challenges promptly to ensure public safety and mobility.
