The Sri Lankan Government is seeking private investment to help develop its new expressway project, which will boost connectivity between capital Colombo and other major conurbations.
The expressway will cost some US$1.5 billion to construct and the authorities have already had interest shown in the project by investors from China, Malaysia and South Korea. The 98km Colombo-Kandy section of the project is expected to cost $1 billion to construct.
The route will be tolled and the deal will be offered under a concession package, most likely under the design, finance, build and operate model, although the length of the contract has not so far been announced.
