Project DescripHon
Southern
Transport
Development
Project
is
the
Sri
Lankas
Expressway
(126
km)
and
it
consists
of
4
secLons.
This
Project
is
nanced
by
the
Asian
Development
Bank
(ADB),
Japan
InternaLonal
CorporaLon
Agency
(JICA),
and
EXIM
Bank
of
China
and
Government
of
Sri
Lanka
(GoSL).
The
principal
product
of
the
project
is
Sri
Lankas
rst
access
controlled
expressway,
connecLng
KoYawa
in
Colombo
suburbs
to
Matara
in
the
Southern
Province
with
an
access
road
from
the
Expressway
to
Galle
(4.285
km).
Access
to
the
expressway
is
only
through
eleven
interchanges,
which
are
located
at
places
where
expressway
crosses
major
roads/highways.
Total
Project
Cost
is
esLmated
at
SL
Rs
86.8
billion
and
it
is
126
km
long.
This
project
will
be
fully
operaLonal
by
mid
2013.

Challenges
The
Road
Development
Authority
(RDA)
has
to
face
many
challenges
in
the
implementaHon
process
of
the
Southern
Transport
Development
Project
,
Sri
Lankas
rst
access
controlled
Expressway.
RDA
did
not
have
experience
in
planning,
construcHng,
operaHng
and
maintaining
of
an
Expressways
prior
to
the
construcHon
of
the
southern
Expressway.
Therefore
it
was
a
major
task
and
a
challenge
for
the
RDA
to
successfully
implement
this
project.
13
Major Challenges are 1. Dealing with Engineering Issues 2. Dealing with Social Issues 3. Dealing with Environmental Issues

1.50%
of
the
length
of
the
Expressway
was
constructed
on
soa
ground
using
proven
technologies
such
as
CVC,
remove
and
rep[lace,
precast
piling,
wick
drains,
surcharging
and
heavy
tamping.
2.
Corrugated
Soil
Steel
Structures
were
used
rst
Lme
in
Sri
Lanka
for
pedestrian
and
vehicular
underpasses.
3.
Delayed
eYringite
formaLons
was
rst
discovered
in
pile
caps
of
some
structures
leading
to
cracking
and
was
strengthened
using
post
tensioned
replacement
pile
caps.

GRM
had
to
address
in
a
wider
socio
economic
spectrum
covering
Colombo,
Kalutara,
Galle
and
Matara
administraLve
districts.
To
get
a
beYer
representaLon
and
parLcipaLon
and
wider
awareness
creaLon,
GRC
commiYees
were
expanded
to
cover
22
Divisional
Secretaries.
Moreover
several
hosing
commiYees
were
established
to
achieve
this
endeavor.

Dealing
with
Social
Issues
contd.
ADB
appointed
a
Compliance
Review
Panel
(CRP)
and
tasked
to
invesLgate
the
achievement
of
Compliances
with
regard
to
the
Southern
Transport
Development
Project.
CRP
recommendaLons
and
guidance
helped
us
implement
land
acquisiLon,
reseYlement
and
GRC
in
wider
and
more
comprehensive
manner.
ADB
sent
monitoring
missions
on
regular
intervals
to
assess
the
performance
of
implementaLon
of
CRP
recommendaLons
and
were
saLsed
with
the
outcome
of
the
overall
process.
This
helped
us
to
implement
beYer
19
procedures
in
future
projects.

The
Expressway
trace
are
going
through
a
rural
area.
The
rural
vegetaLon
had
to
be
removed
to
construct
the
Southern
Expressway.
To
compensate
this
environmental
damage
,
Re
ForestaLon
Program
was
idenLed
and
currently
being
implemented
with
the
assistance
of
the
Forest
Department.
With
this
overall
iniLaLves,
an
ESD
Division
was
established
with
the
assistance
of
ADB
to
facilitate
beYer
implementaLon
of
social
and
Environmental
management
pracLces
in
future
road
projects.

The
experience
we
gathered
by
facing
all
these
tasks
and
challenges
in
STDP
equipped
us
to
beYer
plan,
construct
,
operate
and
maintain
access
controlled
highways
and
expressways
in
future.
As
there
are
few
other
access
controlled
highways
and
expressways
are
being
constructed
and
planned
at
present,
the
Lessoned
Learned
from
Southern
Expressway
would
help
us
to
minimize
cost
and
Lme
overruns
and
to
deliver
a
beYer
products
to
the
public.
As
explained,
once
we
construct
Southern
Expressway,
Outer
Circular
Highway,
Northern
Expressway,
Colombo
Kandy
Highway,
and
Katunayake
Expressway
and
with
the
proposed
improvements
to
the
exisLng
network
would
help
Country
to
have
opLmally
designed,
best
connected
economically
maintainable
road
network
that
will,
help
Sri
Lanka
to
achieve
a
sustainable
development
and
rapid
inclusive
growth.
