• With the opening of Colombo-Katunayake Expressway in October
2013, there is a considerable increase in the traffic entering the
Colombo city and the capacity of existing New Kelani Bridge will not
be sufficient to cater to such heavy traffic volume.
• This Project is the largest bridge construction project in Sri Lanka and
a symbol of Greater Colombo region.
• Major developments in Colombo city and Colombo Port will further
increase the traffic in this area. Therefore, Road Development
Authority has decided to implement a project to construct a new
bridge adjoining the existing bridge with six lanes together with
related elevated approach bridges and interchanges.
