Traffic on Kaduwela Bridge restricted

Traffic+on+Kaduwela+Bridge+restricted

The traffic on the Kaduwela Bridge on the New Kandy Road has been restricted.

The authorities say that the soil erosion on the river banks and the imminent danger of part of the bridge being sunk were the reasons to restrict traffic on the bridge.

Now only one lane of the bridge is open for traffic.
