The claim
The Katunayake–Chilaw Expressway extension is Sri Lanka's final expressway, and the last one to be built under the current government.
Original review summary
The review reports that the Katunayake–Chilaw project was at the feasibility-study stage, not designated as Sri Lanka’s or the government’s final expressway. It says officials outlined other planned expressway projects as well.[S1]
Additional context
On September 8, 2026, the transport minister told Parliament that planning and a feasibility study had begun for the proposed Katunayake–Chilaw extension; the review also reports planned work on other expressway sections. [S1]
