'Athugalpura Access' earns over Rs. 100 million a month

The second phase of the Central Expressway, or the ‘Ethugalpura Entrance’, which was declared open last month, has generated an income to the tune of over Rs. 100 million within the first month of its operations.

More than 500,000 vehicles have used this stretch of the road between Mirigama and Kurunegala since it was vested with the public, Highways Minister Johnston Fernando said.

The ‘Ethugalpura Entrance’ of the Central Expressway was vested with the public in an event held under the patronage of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa on January 15.
