Kandy District Secretary Indika Udawatta has announced the temporary closure of the Kaikawala Bridge on the Hunnasgiriya–Meemure road due to ongoing repair work.
He urged the public to avoid traveling to Meemure until the bridge repairs are completed, as excavation work near the bridge’s base has made it unsafe for vehicular traffic.
The Road Development Authority (RDA) is currently carrying out the necessary repairs, and traffic across the bridge has been temporarily halted.
The District Secretary emphasized that travel to Meemure for leisure purposes should be avoided during this period, with RDA engineers estimating the repairs will be completed within three days.
