Road Closures and Traffic Disruptions

6 posts 6 threadsAug 3, 12:00 PM 0 0 6

Multiple major roads in Sri Lanka have been closed due to adverse weather conditions, including earth slips and rockfalls. The Colombo-Kandy main road between Kadugannawa and Ganethenna is particularly affected with motorists advised to use alternative routes.

Colombo-Kandy road has closed so many times this week, Google Maps just marked it as "seasonal" now. At this point, the rocks falling are probably just trying to escape the news cycle like the rest of us.
