About the Project

The project aims to catalyze development in the economically deprived southern region of the country, by constructing a new highway linking Colombo with Matara and produce a sustainable and quantifiable reduction in the country's high road accident rates. Its secondary objective is to reduce poverty within the immediate project area, where more than 30 percent of the population is classified as poor, and within the south of the country in general.
