The Northern railway development project is being implemented under three phases. In the first phase the trains will operate from Vavuniya to Omanthai and from Omanthai to Palai in the second phase. In the third phase the service will be extended from Palai to Kankasanthurai.

According to the Department of Railways 159 kilometers are being developed under the project that includes 85 bridges, 58 culverts, 16 railway stations and 12 sub stations.
