BUILD A RESILIENT ECONOMY

Transportation - Road, Sea and Air

  • Building a multi-faceted public transport system with eco-friendly, modern buses, electrification of railways, light rail system, and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) empowered by smart technology.
  • Speedy completion of the work on the Central Expressway will be ensured. We consider the construction of Ruwanpura Expressway from Kahathuduwa to Pelmadulla as a key component of our major transport network and the construction work will be completed in stages. Priority will be given to the rehabilitation of rural roads.
  • Railway modernisation projects, including the Kelani Valley railway line, which was halted by the present government, will be expedited.
  • Improving the efficiency of expressways by introducing a Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system.
  • Prioritising the rapid completion of the second terminal at Katunayake International Airport, which will be of immense support for the tourism industry, and converting the existing domestic airports within the country into civil airports.
  • Given Sri Lanka’s unique strategic positioning, we will invite private sector participation in developing the seaports.
