Work on the 30 kilometre Matara-Beliatta Expressway costing Rs. 125 billion is almost complete and it can be vested in the public by February next year, Consultant Engineer Nayan Samaranayake of the Consultancy Firm F.S.D.I. Construction Company said.“Once the Expressway is opened, motorists from Matara can reach Beliatte within 18 minutes and this facility will be a boon to southern industrialists and farmers as they could move their export products faster,” he said.
