December 01, Colombo (LNW): The Road Development Authority has announced that extensive rainfall in recent days has caused severe disruption across the national road network.
According to the Authority, flooding, earth slips and unstable ground conditions have affected at least 108 roads, leaving several key routes either partially blocked or entirely inaccessible.
In its latest update issued today (01), the RDA noted that transport services in multiple districts remain hampered, with some areas experiencing repeated inundation as water levels rise and recede.
Emergency crews are currently deployed to assess the stability of slopes, clear fallen debris and restore safe passage where possible, though officials cautioned that continuing adverse weather may delay full reopening of certain stretches.
The Authority confirmed that a detailed list of roads impacted by the disaster has been made available through its official communiqué.
