Access Engineering PLC, the pioneers in flyover construction in Sri Lanka, was recently awarded the sub-contract to construct a flyover at the Gatambe junction, a permanent solution to reduce the heavy traffic congestion at the Gatambe junction in Peradeniya. The Gatambe junction is located literally in Peradeniya between Peradeniya and Kandy and Old Peradeniya Kandy Road (A1) and New Peradeniya Kandy Road (AB42 – William Gopallawa Mawatha) cross at this junction. In addition, there is a railway level crossing on William Gopallawa Mawatha just passing the junction towards the Kandy city. As a solution to ease off the traffic congestion at the Gatambe junction, the Road Development Authority proposed to erect a flyover at the junction. The project scope includes the necessary improvements to the junction and service roads to facilitate turning movements and through traffic along the A1 road direction.
