Katunayake Expressway

The Colombo – Katunayake Expressway (CKE) starts from the New Kelani Bridge and ends at the access road to the International Airport, Katunayake. 

                                                                   The proposed railway route would go on the Airport road, then cross the Negombo Main Highway and the Negombo lagoon and connect to the new Katunayake Expressway.  It will then be constructed parallel to the main Expressway along it’s 30 meter reservation area for an approximate distance of 30 kilometers until it reaches the town of Wattala. 

Here it Crosses the Negombo main Road yet again and from the Hunupitiya railway station , travels alongside the Existing Railway line until the cross-over at the Kelaniya River. At this boundary to the Colombo city limits, the new railway track would be taken across the river on a modern bridge and will reach its destination, the ‘Fort Lotus terminal’ after a total of 15 minutes travels time.
