Hey, Thanks.. it's all my pleasure. We have to get people into correct track with proper advise rather than scolding I guess. I do have 550D Rebel T2i. Ooops 5D Mk2 is a dream for me as this is a hobby of mine. Let's meet in different ways.

The Expressway is narrower near bridge locations. Only the hard shoulder is narrowing as the width of bridges are not enough for same shoulder width. Proper signs have been installed to enlighten drivers.

@Watchman, It is ok machan. As far as people use our photos for some genuine work, we are ok. This must not be dirty debate here, please. I hope Californican might have understood it and let's stop such argument and let's see more details about the First Expressway in Sri Lanka. I will upload more images and you all are invited to see them. Thank you, www.sirilaka.org

Yes, proper fense is there to prevent animal's entrance, specially like cows. But, dog can some how enter with small holes some would make. The standard clearence between fence net bottom and ground is 100mm or less. But there are some larger opening in natural drains locations. So, it would be not garanteed that dogs cannot enter the Expressway. In case of people: No fence cannot prevent people to enter. They will be climed and enter into the Expressway boundary. Law is ther here then to fine them.

@Scooter, the Southern Expressway is exceptional case when you compare other roads in Sri Lanka. In fact this is first Expressway in Sri Lanka, that has almost all international standards. However, please mindful that our drivers are not well disciplined enough to drive here properly. So, be careful when you drive here initially. yeah, credit should go all people who contributed to make this Expressway is a reallity!

Near History is like this. -There was a big rush to finish and open up the E'way 31 July. Couldn't meet the deadline, which was an official deadline from RDA. -Then people thought end of August it would be, same rush and tried to complete. -Media reported that 02nd of September E'way was to be opened. Not happened. -Ultimately, any of official and unofficial dead line couldn't make. So, government now has declared that E'way will be commissioned for the public at the end of the year.

The Southern expressway is virtually completed. it means 99.9999% would say. If you want you can open up it next week (after 7-10 days). But why you delayed it putting blame to Contractors. Government waiting for Big BD in November unofficially. All contractors worked expeditiously during July, August and early September with the instruction from RDA. And finally government took it back. Big boss has asked who the hell has asked to open it???? haa you can understand the story bros. See these photos

what is the tax formula when you import used cars in SL? (Like depreciation values and total tax)
