The expanded and reconstructed 18-bend (Daha Ata Wanguwa) Kandy-Mahiyangana road was officially declared open to the public by President Mahinda Rajapaksa today (May 06).

The famous 41 kilometer stretch had taken three years to renovate at a cost of Rs. 5,000 million, and consists of two lanes.

Work on the construction of the well known 18-bend Kandy-Mahiyangana Road commenced in 2008.  

This dual carriage highway with a width of 8.25m was completed with assistance provided by the Asian Development Bank.
