Sri Lanka’s cabinet yesterday approved a proposal to construct a double lane 5.5km tunnel in Kandy, the second largest city of the island nation with funds from South Korea’s Economic Development Co-operation Fund, a statement from the highways ministry said.

The statement said this would be constructed with two interchange points to reduce traffic congestion.

“With the construction of the tunnel, traffic congestion will ease in the Kandy city and nearby areas. It is to be constructed according to international standards, including safe parking facilities, safe exit facilities among others,” the statement said.
