    Seems a wise project to avoid midtown traffic. I beleieve it is wiser to develop our railways to metro and LRT even restructure of public bus services (something similar to Malaysia).
    We can reduce the drastic amount of public moving away from daily commuting from personal cars if done effectively. Reducing emissions+ cost on fuel etc.

    Great video!! Are all the flyover parts complete? In the second round why couldn't you go over flyover to cross the railway track?(After coming from North bound)

    • @roadcanvas
      @roadcanvas  Місяць тому +3

      Flyover complex is fully complete.
      But Eastbound traffic is not allowed on the new extension as it is one-way.

    • @roadcanvas
      @roadcanvas  Місяць тому +3

      Yes! if you are trying to cross railway tracks in eastbound direction, there is no option at the moment. Flyover is more than capable of handling traffic in both the directions. Not sure why they decided to allow only westbound uniflow.

      north and east doesnt develop bcz they are blocking every single investment coming to north and east by tamils, tamils dont let any of non tamil to invest there , so they remain poor , its their mentality , we cant change, eastern ampara is catching up
