A section of the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway between Peliyagoda Interchange and the Kelani Bridge is temporarily closed from today because of the construction work on the proposed Kelani Bridge, the Road development Authority (RDA) said.

A spokesman for the RDA said vehicles travelling towards Colombo on the Colombo-Puttalam Road and Colombo-Kandy road will not be allowed to enter the Expressway via the PeliyagodaInterchange and also vehicles travelling from Colombo will not be allowed to enter these two roads through the Peliayagoda interchange temporarily.

The Expressway users were requested to use the newly constructed bypass.
