    This document outlines potential environmental impacts from construction and operation of the ADB section of the southern highway project in Sri Lanka, along with existing and additional proposed mitigation measures. During construction, site clearing could result in loss of flora and fauna habitats, which would be mitigated by planting trees and habitat-providing plants. Cutting and filling could also impact flora, but mitigation includes planting along road edges and covering exposed surfaces. Fragmentation of peacock populations between km 45-47 would be addressed by reducing speed limits to allow animal crossings. Operational impacts like deviated traffic are not expected to significantly impact bird out-migration since similar habitats are available nearby. The mitigation measures aim to minimize environmental damage
