REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENTS TO MANNAR PUTTALAM ROAD PROJECT (C3)

  • Client: China Harbour Engineering Company / Road Development Authority
  • Date of commencement: August 31, 2012
  • Date of completion: November 26, 2014

With good road connections already linking Puttalam to the Western and North-Western Provinces, rehabilitation of the Mannar-Puttalam road has now established a continuous highway link between Colombo and Jaffna. The scope of work on this project comprised rehabilitation and improvement of the two-lane Mannar-Marichchikade – Puttalam Road (B403 and B379). As a result of this project, travel time between Jaffna and the Western and Southern Provinces has been greatly reduced.
