Colombo Outer Circular Highway opening shifted till July

 

The opening of the second phase of the Colombo Outer Circular Highway (OCH) linking the Southern Expressway from Kaduwela to Kadawatha was delayed, Project Director Ms. T. S. H. Abewickrama stated yesterday.

Expressway which was scheduled to be open today (June 20) would be open in mid July, she added.

Construction is being completed at the moment, the Project Director stated. “According to the contract, July 18 is the deadline. Though it was said to be opened on June 20, small scale constructions such as traffic signals are still being done,” Ms. Abewickrama stated.
