Sri Lanka A-Grade Highways

The Colombo outer cicular express highway (also known as the Outer circular highway, Colombo Inter-provincial Orbital Router or the Arthur C. Clarke Expressway[1] is a proposed highway in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The 29 km (18 mi) long outer circular road network will link the Colombo-Matara Expressway with the under-construction Colombo-Katunayake Expressway and will provide an orbital beltway to bypass the city of Colombo and reduce traffic congestion. The project is funded by Japan the International Cooperation Agency (JICA) [2]

Construction of the road will commence in October, 2009 and will take 3 and a half years to complete. Access will be provided to all "A" class roads via interchanges. The highway will have an operational speed limit of 80 km/h and is to be built with 4 lanes and provisions to upgrade the road for 6 lanes of traffic.[3]
