One lane of the Colombo-Chenkaladi main road has been reopened to traffic after a landslide caused a complete blockage near the 184-kilometer mark in the Viharagala area, between Beragala and Wellawaya.

 The landslide, triggered by heavy rainfall, caused the upper part of the road to collapse into the adjacent dirt road, halting all vehicular movement through the area late last night. Authorities responded swiftly, working overnight to clear debris and stabilize the affected section.

While only one lane is currently operational, road development officials have advised motorists to proceed with caution and expect delays as repair work continues. The situation remains under close observation, with further rainfall posing a potential risk for additional landslides.

Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes if possible and stay updated through official advisories.
