A comprehensive traffic management programme has been introduced today to facilitate smooth movement ahead of the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup fixture between the Sri Lanka national cricket team and the New Zealand national cricket team in Colombo.
The match is set to begin at 7.00 p.m. tomorrow at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, where a significant turnout of spectators is anticipated.
According to the Sri Lanka Police, traffic restrictions will be enforced on several roads surrounding the stadium to reduce congestion and maintain public safety. Motorists have been encouraged to avoid these areas where possible and cooperate with traffic officers on duty.
The roads affected by the special traffic plan include Vincent Perera Mawatha, Britto Babapulle Place, Sebastian Canal Road, 100-Foot Road, Temple Road, Sri Bodhiraja Mawatha, Maligawatte Lane, Jumma Masjid Road, and Saddharma Mawatha.
Meanwhile, authorities have allocated specific parking locations for spectators. These include the stadium’s main car park, Grandpass Mati Park, Sathosa car park, areas along Sebastian Canal Road, Applewatte, Kovil Road, and both sides of the 100-Foot Road.
To further strengthen security during the event, police officers and intelligence personnel, including those in plain clothes, will be deployed in and around the venue. Officials emphasized that these measures are intended to ensure the safety of spectators and minimize disruptions during the international cricket encounter.
