Katunayake-Kalpitiya new expressway

Qatari investors have expressed their willingness to build an expressway from Katunayake to Kalpitiya. This is an extension of the Colombo Katunayake highway which would be opened this year.

Investors from Qatar are looking at building this 140 km highway on a build operate and transfer basis.

Minister of Economic Development, Basil Rajapaksa said the main reason behind the building of this highway by Qataris is to accommodate traffic to the Kalpitiya Tourist Zone.

The Qatari investers have expressed interest to build three hotels in the Kalpitiya Tourism zone and most likely both projects would mutually benefit each other, he said.

I posted this in the main Roadways thread, but thought i'd post it here too:

It's safe to say SL will have 3 expressways by the end of 2012/beginning of 2013

1) Southern Expressway all the way to Matara will be complete.

2) Katunayake Expressway will be complete.

3) Colombo Outer Circular Expressway -connecting 1 & 2- will also be complete.

The government is also steam rolling ahead with the Colombo-Kandy Expressway and by the end of 2015/16 it too will be complete.

This is in addition to the expansion of the Southern Expressway all the way to Hambantota and then Arugam Bay.
