The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
No new decision has been taken to proceed with the proposed flyover. The Ministry instead intends to widen Baseline Road up to Dutugemunu Junction and along the 120 bus route, with works expected to continue where compensation has already been paid so that those payments are not wasted.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, your original question pertained to the flyover. No fresh decision has been taken to proceed with that flyover. However, the present Ministry’s position is to widen Baseline Road up to the Dutugemunu Junction and the 120 bus route, as you explained. Compensation has been paid for a certain portion. The widening works along Baseline Road up to Dutugemunu Junction and along the 120 route will be carried out; therefore, there will be no loss in respect of compensation already paid. We expect to proceed accordingly.
