President Anura Kumara Disanayake presided over both events, unveiling commemorative plaques and inspecting the project sites. The initiatives highlight the Government's strategy to modernise key transport hubs, while balancing heritage conservation and future mobility needs.
By investing in clean, safe and accessible transport, both projects aim to improve daily life for citizens, strengthen connectivity, and support tourism and economic competitiveness.
The Colombo Central Bus Terminal is being completely redeveloped for the first time in 60 years, with an allocation of Rs. 425 million under the Clean Sri Lanka program.
Slated to be completed in April 2026, ahead of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, the terminal will be transformed into a modern facility equipped with all necessary amenities to meet the demands of urban commuters.
