Mega construction project to boost east

 
The Government has initiated a massive construction project of building the new Kalladi bridge in Batticaloa to boost the economic and social activities in the East by enhancing the connectivity in the region.

The new Kalladi bridge spanning the Kalladi lagoon lies on the Pottuvil- Batticaloa road. It is built at a cost of Rs.3, 806.8 million with JICA funding, reported Daily News.

This is a very important bridge located on the Pottuvil-Batticaloa main road which is used by thousands of motorists and pedestrians, said a spokesman for the Highways and Road Development Ministry.

The old single-lane Kalladi bridge which is one of the few main entrances to the Eastern Province was in a dilapidated state for a long time.
