The Sri Lankan government has approved a proposal to build a tunnel to link the Chinese-built ‘Port City’ reclamation project with Colombo’s road network under a private-public partnership (PPP) model, a spokesman said.
The government will enter in to an agreement with the developer, CHEC Port City Colombo (Pvt.) Ltd, a subsidiary of China Harbour Engineering Company, which is part of China Communication Construction Company Limited (CCCC) group.
The proposal by Megapolis & Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka had been approved by the Cabinet of ministers this week, Gayantha Karunathilaka, Minister of Land and Parliamentary Reforms told a news conference.
The tunnel, under the Galle Face Green esplanade, will link the coastal Marive Drive from the Kollupitiya railway station with the Port City at the Chaitya Road junction.
