It is reported that the Colombo-Badulla main roads, which were blocked due to the collapse of a mound of earth, have now been restored.
It is said that the road was reopened today (10) at around 1 am.
The road was blocked due to the fall of a large tree along with a mound of earth on the main road between Haputale – Beragala at Viharakele area yesterday (09) at around 8 pm. As a result, even the high power lines were damaged and the road was blocked for about 4 hours.
