The Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake
Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake noted that the A6 Ambepussa–Trincomalee road through Kurunegala crosses the railway at several points and that heavy lorry traffic from the North is worsening congestion in the town. He asked whether the Ministry could provide alternative routes, including diversion via the expressway with access near Dambokka, to reduce heavy-vehicle traffic through the Kurunegala town centre.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary has been largely addressed. The A6 (Ambepussa–Trincomalee) through Kurunegala crosses the railway at four points—Yangalmodara, Polgahawela, Pothuhera and Gettuwaana. Heavy lorry traffic from the North worsens congestion in Kurunegala. Can the Ministry provide alternative routes to divert heavy vehicles, for example via the expressway with access near Dambokka, to ease the town center?
