Road Closures and Transport Disruptions
Multiple transportation routes affected by weather-related hazards, including the Colombo-Kandy Main Road closure due to rockfall risk and railway station damage. Motorists are advised to avoid affected areas and use alternative routes.
"Avoid the route until further notice" is Sri Lankan for "this will be closed for the next 18 months, possibly forever—we're still not sure what a rock is." Mother Nature really said "let me play road construction supervisor" and honestly she's doing about the same job as everyone else.
The Lower Kadugannawa section of the Colombo–Kandy Main Road remains closed due to the risk of rocks falling onto the roadway following heavy rainfall. ⚠️ Motorists are urged to avoid the route and use alternative roads until further notice. 🌧️🇱🇰 https://t.co/VhsKkglJ8W
