Even though Sri Lanka has an extensive road network, most roads were built about 50 years ago and do not possess the capacity to cope with the increasing traffic volumes. Therefore there is an urgent need to improve the capacity and efficiency of the road network to meet the growing transport requirements of the country and avoid the road network becoming an impediment to development.
The expressway network, through which will be constructed a high-standard limited access road network centering the colombo capital and around the country, will assist the development of the economically weak other regions by encouraging growth in manufacturing, tourism, fisheries and agriculture.
- E01 Colombo – Matara Expressway (also known as Southern Expressway)
- E02 Outer Circular Expressway
- E03 Colombo – Katunayake Expressway
- E04 Colombo – Kandy Expressway / Northern Expressway
