Authorities have temporarily shut down a section of the main Colombo-Kandy road between Kadugannawa and Ganethenna following concerns about falling rocks. Motorists are being directed to use alternative routes.
The Colombo-Kandy main road has been closed to traffic between Kadugannawa and Ganethenna as a precautionary measure against potential rockfalls, according to Ada Derana. The closure affects a significant transportation corridor connecting the capital to the central highlands.
Police have advised all motorists to avoid the affected section and seek alternative routes until the situation is resolved. The temporary nature of the closure suggests that authorities are assessing conditions and working to clear any hazards before reopening the road to public use.
No timeline for reopening has been provided. Commuters and commercial traffic using this route are expected to experience delays as they divert to secondary roads in the area.
