This will be used to help pay for Sri Lanka’s planned Inclusive Connectivity and Development Project (ICDP). The aim of the ICDP is to build new roads and improve existing links. In all work will be carried out to 3,000km of provincial and rural roads.

The work will help boost access to rural areas in Sri Lanka and aid economic development. Maintenance will be carried out to improve existing rural roads while a number of new connections will also be constructed.
