An earthslip in the Kuyilwatte area has rendered the main Hatton-Colombo road impassable, prompting authorities to redirect traffic to alternative routes.

A landslip has blocked the primary Hatton-Colombo highway in the Kuyilwatte area, disrupting vehicular movement along the corridor, according to Sri Lanka Police.

The obstruction has forced authorities to advise motorists to seek alternate routes while clearance operations are underway. The extent of the blockage and estimated time for reopening the road have not been specified in official statements.
