One way test run not successful
The one way test run which was conducted on the Galle Road from Bambalapitiya to Colpetty and from Colpetty to Dickmans Road on Saturday was not as successful as expected, the police said.
During the test run vehicles coming from Colombo had to go through the Duplication Road to Dickmans road and then to the Galle Road. The test started at 12 noon and lasted till around 6pm.
It was initiated by the police to curb the heavy traffic on weekdays and on Saturdays in Colombo. But according to the police the roads were congested as usual. It was first told that the test run was held to look into the possibility of making a one way stretch from Dickmans road which connects the Galle road in Bambalapitiya up to Colpetty.
On the other hand it was tested to connect it to the Bambalapitiya-Colpetty highway which is being redeveloped now, the police said. (SD)
