The UPFA today charged the present government had reduced the number of lanes of the Northern Expressway planned by the previous government in order to show that it was able to reduce the cost of the project.
Colombo District UPFA Candidate Danasiri Amaratunga said the UNP led government had reduced the number of the lanes of the expressway to two from three.
“The UPFA government introduced the project with three lanes to ease the increasing traffic. However, the UNP government had reduced the number of lanes to two to show it was succeed in reducing the project cost. The government had also changed the expressway’s name to ‘Central Expressway’,” Mr. Amaratunga said.
He said the government had allowed the same old company to carry out the construction of the expressway after accusing it previously.
