Colombo (LNW): Following directions from President Ranil Wickremesinghe, President’s Secretary Saman Ekanayake has tasked M.M.P.K. Mayadunne, Secretary of the Ministry of Transport and Highways, with the immediate construction of a temporary access route to the Bambalapitiya railway station.
This provisional pathway is aimed at aiding passenger entry and is expected to be completed within ten days.
Owing to its deteriorated state, the current flyover will be taken down, with plans to finish the construction of a new one in five months.
The President has engaged the State Development and Construction Corporation for the project, providing Rs. 50 million for the initiative.
The design and building process will be overseen by the Road Development Authority, with operations having begun on October 09.
