The decision was taken due to the ongoing construction work of the New Kelani Bridge, the Road Development Authority (RDA) said in a statement.
Accordingly, the vehicular movement on this road section will be halted with effect from 6.00 a.m. until midnight on the said date.
The motorists are advised to use Colombo-Kandy main road (A1), and Colombo-Negombo main road (A3) as alternative routes to minimize the congestion. – ada derana
