Kandy District Secretary Indika Udawatte said that the Kaikawala Bridge on the Hunnasgiriya-Meemure road has been temporarily closed. Therefore, he is requesting the public to refrain from visiting Meemure until the bridge is repaired.
The District Secretary further commented,
“The Kaikawala Bridge on the Hunnasgiriya-Meemure road is being repaired by the Road Development Authority. In the meantime, a stone had to be dug along the bridge base for the repairs. Due to this, vehicular traffic on the bridge has been temporarily stopped.
We request the public not to come to Meemure these days for pleasure trips until the bridge is repaired. Road Development Authority engineers have informed us that this will be repaired within 3 days.”
