Construction of the Kurunegala to Dambulla stretch of the Central Expressway (E04) will commence soon, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa announced.
The Prime Minister said the construction work of the third stage of the E04 from Pothuhera to Galagedara was inaugurated recently under the E04 acceleration project.
He said the E04 project was delayed due to a change in regime in 2015, following which the United National Party –led Government had halted many projects, including the Central Expressway project.
Stating that if the former Government had continued the E04 project, the Dambulla expressway would have been completed by now, the Prime Minister said the projects including E04 will be restarted and completed soon. (NewsWire)
