The Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake
Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake asked whether the Ministry would implement measures to reduce severe peak-time congestion on the A10 Kandy–Puttalam road through Kurunegala, particularly near Yanthampalawa junction and key institutions. He noted that the town section remains two lanes while other sections are wider, and referred to a stalled proposal to widen the road to six lanes with proper traffic management.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary: On the A10 (Kandy–Puttalam), through Kurunegala the carriageway is two lanes, though parts elsewhere are four lanes. The town segment faces severe peak-time congestion near major schools, the technical college, banks, and motorbike dealers, especially at Yanthampalawa junction. A proposal to widen to six lanes with proper traffic management seems stalled. Will the Ministry implement measures to address this congestion?
