July 06, Colombo (LNW): Motorists travelling through Borella on Sunday evening are advised to expect traffic diversions and temporary restrictions due to a high-profile religious event taking place in the area.
Authorities have announced special traffic arrangements to accommodate the 50th anniversary of priestly service of His Holiness the Cardinal, a significant occasion that will draw a wide range of attendees, including senior clergy, state officials, and religious leaders from various communities.
The event will be held at the Archbishop’s House in Colombo and is expected to attract a substantial gathering.
To facilitate the smooth flow of traffic and ensure security for the ceremony, police will implement a restriction on heavy vehicles entering the stretch between Kinsey Road Junction and Nandadasa Kodagoda Junction via Ward Place.
These measures will be in effect from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and will apply throughout the Borella Police Division.
Commuters and transport operators are urged to plan ahead and seek alternate routes during the restricted hours to avoid delays. Police officials have also encouraged the public to cooperate with officers on duty and follow all directions given to ensure safety and minimal disruption.
