6. CONSTRUCTION PLAN
Bored Piles will be used for the pile cap of the bridge. After installation of temporary steel
casing into the ground using a vibrating machine, the soil inside the casing is removed using
buckets and bentonite slurry to maintain the excavated hole from collapsing.
After installation of the reinforcement cage into the bored hole, concrete is poured in the
excavated hole using a tremie pipe. At the end of the casting operation, the temporary steel
casing will be removed.
6.1.2 Substructure
When the piers are located in the center median of the existing roads, it is necessary to
secure enough space on both sides of the center median to carry out the substructure works.

Sheet piles will be used to reduce the required space for the construction yard and minimize
the impact on the existing traffic flow, but the carriageway of the existing road will still have to
be reduced most of the time.
After installation of sheet piles, excavation is carried out up to the required level. The lean
concrete is then cast to provide a plane surface on which the formwork and re-bar can be
installed. After casting of the pile cap and removal of the formwork, backfill work will be
carried out up to the top surface of the pile cap shortly afterwards.
Figure 6.1.2 Illustration of a Pile Cap Construction for the Separated section
The main difference between the pile cap of a hammerhead concrete pier and the pile cap of
steel pier is the anchor frame which will be installed in the pile cap before its casting. The
anchor frame will thus connect the steel pier to the pile cap, transmitting all the efforts from
the pier to the pile cap.

Final Report
Figure 6.1.3 Illustration of a Pile Cap Construction for the Overlapped Section
After installing re-bars overlapping the starter bars of the pile cap, vertical formwork is set up
and concrete is cast.
For the pier head, support is assembled from the ground and the formwork is then installed
on top of it. After installation of the re-bars, the pier head is casted.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
Pier of the overlapped section is installed the steel pier from the viewpoint of rapid
construction. The steel pier is manufactured at Japanese factory and transported from Japan
before completion of the pile cap. The steel pier and the steel girder are installed as Figure
6.1.6 after completion of the pile cap.
The approach bridges of the separated section will be cast-in place using the scaffolding
method, as there is no need to free the space underneath the bridge. This frequently used
method requires no large equipment during construction and is thus a very economical
solution.
The separated sections works will commence after completion of the land acquisition inside
the ROW. After construction of the pile cap and substructure, the scaffolding will be erected
from the ground level up to the required soffit level of the bridge.
The formwork is then installed above the scaffolding, followed by the re-bars. After the
casting of the PC box girder and stressing of the cables, the scaffolding is dismantled.
During the construction of the pile caps and sub-structures, steel box girder blocks are
prefabricated at a manufacturing factory. When the steel piers are constructed and bents are
installed along the alignment, the fabricated blocks are brought on site. The first block is
anchored on the steel pier using a crane. The other blocks are then erected and bolted on
the blocks already installed, supported by the bents, until the completion of one span.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
When all the steel members are in their definitive position, re-bars are installed and the
concrete slab of the deck is casted.
This method requires only limited bents and no whole scaffolding to erect the bridge girder,
which reduces the construction yard space and the disturbance to the traffic flow of the
existing roads.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
As steel box girders and steel piers will be used for the ramp bridges, the same construction
method as the overlapped section will be applied.
6.1.6 Main Bridge (The 2nd New Kelani Bridge) – Extradosed Bridge
The Main Bridge will be constructed above the Kelani River, making it difficult to use
scaffolding at ground level to cast the bridge deck. Thus, the 2nd New Kelani Bridge will be
built using the balanced cantilever method, which makes it possible to build most of the
bridge deck without any contact with the ground.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
After the erection of the central piers and pylons, the construction of the bridge girder will be
carried out symmetrically on either side of the piers in order to minimize the moments
transmitted to the support during erection. Each segment is cast against the preceding
segment and firmly attached using prestressing tendons, to form a self-supporting cantilever.
At the extremities of the side spans, the bridge deck will be cast on scaffolding.

Regarding the construction of Extradosed Bridge, the points to consider is stated below.
To manage the temperature and the quality of concrete for main tower
Baseline Road and Port Access Road intersect at Kelanithissa Intersection. Erection shall be
carried out as little effect as possible because this Intersection is heavily-trafficked in the
daytime. Therefore, erection shall be carried out at night with closed to vehicular traffic.
Besides, bent is built up in the existing median strip. Ingurukade Intersection is constructed
as well as Kelanithissa Intersection.

Final Report
It is necessary to minimize the effect to the existing road such as Baseline Road and Port
Access Road. Therefore, excavation and construction for foundation shall be applied the
steel sheet pile.
The oil and the grease traps should be installed at yard and workshop area to filter the waste
oil, other petroleum products and wastewater before discharging outside the yard or
workshop area. In addition, all cement, bitumen, oil and other chemicals should be stored
and handled on an impervious surface above ground level. All bentonite clay and other
materials will be recovered and any waste will be disposed of site in approved locations.
By the time the 2nd New Kelani Bridge and its approach bridges will start being constructed,
the CKE, which is under construction, is expected to be completed and open to traffic.
Important traffic between Colombo and its International Airport will thus transit through the

1) Routine inspection
In order to get to know the current situation of the structures, routine inspection is
undertaken visually from road patrol on the shoulder or left-most lane. Accordingly,
inspections are confined to those which can be observed from the moving vehicle. They
include the following:
7-16
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
2) Periodic inspection
In order to grasp the overall status of the structure, a distant visual inspection should be
undertaken from a short distance visual inspection. Furthermore, prior to initiating
inspection work, several field work such as traffic control, preparation and arrangement of
transportation are required.
Inspection for Extra dosed bridge is stated here, since the main bridge constructed in the
Project is the first Extra dosed bridge in Sri Lanka.
Commonly, daily visual inspection is conducted from the vehicle-on-board to secure road
safety. However, as an Extra dosed bridge is adopted for the main bridge, checking of the
entrance facilities towards the girder is recommended to confirm whether or not doors or
hatches are locked. All stay cables will be anchored inside the girder, and the tendon
anchorages are very significant structural elements of the Extra dosed bridge. So, these
doors and hatches should be checked not only visually but also by feel inspection every
morning and evening.
Also, the 3-month interval inspection is recommended for the checking of the surface of the
stay-cables whether or not there is water leakage of the tendon anchorages inside the
girder.
7.4.3 Maintenance
To secure traffic safety and monitor the bridge health condition under current traffic
loading.
Cleaning the carriage way of the bridge such as removing trash or debris on road surface
and cleaning the drainage are conducted as Routine maintenance.
After completion of the Project Road, maintenance (repair) work will be planned and
conducted based on rating and prioritization of inspection results.
7-17
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
The Project Road has three bridge types, namely PC bridge, steel bridge and extra dosed
bridge. For all bridge types, following deteriorations or damages are anticipated.
Wave, Rutting, Cracking and potholes of the pavement (Resurface ; every 10 years)
Cracks of the slab, girder, pylon, pile-cap of the pier and abutment
In addition, following deteriorations or damages are anticipated for steel and extra dosed
bridge.
Usually, road maintenance work are categorized into the following three types.
1) Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance includes road cleaning: removal of trash, debris, soil, stone etc.
including mowing of slopes and cleaning of drainage facilities. The frequency may vary
from once a day to once a year, according to necessity. Localized repairs of pavement and
shoulder damages, such as pothole patching, reshaping of side drains, repairing and
cleaning of culverts and retaining wall are included. Also, repainting of road markings,
repairing and replacing of road signs, lighting and guardrails should be undertaken.
7-18
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
2) Periodic maintenance
(iii) The interval of implementation is influenced by traffic volume, especially that for
heavy vehicles.
3) Emergency maintenance
Emergency maintenance mainly refers to the urgent repair of the road structure damaged
by natural disasters or large-scale accidents. There are various forms of such damage and
it is very difficult to anticipate what will happen. The followings are some examples of such
damages:
To minimize traffic disturbance, repair work of damages are often implemented in two
stages, i.e. urgent temporary repair to secure traffic flow, and full-scale repair including
some strengthening to prevent recurrence in the future. The work items for maintenance
are listed in Table 7.4.2.

The package of the project components should be carefully considered according to the
scope of works required for each work. The comparative analysis for packaging of the
contract is to be conducted taking into account the benefits of overall project implementation,
especially focused on procurement arrangements and control of works to ensure smooth
implementation of the project (see Table 9.3.1).
As a result of analysis for each optional packaging, it is recommended that the project should
be implemented with a sole contract package in order to ensure smooth implementation
under simple project management. The management of a sole contract has various
advantageous, especially the merit of ease of coordination with the stakeholders including
traffic flow arrangement during steel bridge construction work and simple contract
management in conformity with contract requirement.
In addition, when some troubles such as construction accident occur, it will be difficult to
clarify where responsibility lies in case of two-package.

10.1 Introduction
After the Project has been completed, it is expected to improve the traffic conditions at spot
area/ road sections around the target area.
In order to understand the project effect of this Project, it is necessary to estimate the effects
of improvements at spot area/ road sections quantitatively. Therefore, the Study team
recognized that a micro-scopic traffic simulation would be more appropriate for this purpose
than application to conventional road network analysis because it enable to forecast and
examine how the traffic improvement at spot area will be effective or not.
The micro-scopic traffic simulation can also evaluate whether the expressway connected to
urban area can secure the smooth traffic flow or not with planned connection method and
traffic/lane management.
Four analysis cases are prepared to estimate project benefits for with and without of the
project implementation in 2020 and 2035.

After understanding the designed traffic signal phasing in each signal and instruction of the
police control by his manual at the site survey, these understandings can help to simulate
current traffic conditions with these signal phasing conditions.
The current traffic volume was counted on site for every 15 minutes at each intersection. This
data was used for setting up the traffic volume and the ratio for turning traffic volume at
intersection which input into the simulator. Figure 10.2.3 shows the results of survey for
inflow traffic volume from A01 to roundabout of R1 and intersections of J1 and J2.

Figure 10.2.5 Current Travel Speed Condition around the Project Road
The vehicle types for the simulation consist of i) motor cycle, ii) 3-wheeler, iii) car, iv) bus, v)
truck and vi) trailer. This simulator has the 3D model and vehicle characteristics, such as
body size and engine power etc., of 3-wheerer and bus developed by the India’s products.
Therefore, the Study team used this 3D model and adjusted the driving behaviour and other
parameters in accordance with the Sri Lankan situation based on the site survey done by the
traffic engineering specialists of micro-scopic traffic simulation.
In order to conduct the simulation, the input traffic volume data for simulation for three hours
in the morning peak (6:00 am to 9:00 am) were estimated with every 15 minutes at each
intersection, based on the same method of traffic demand forecast mentioned in 3.2.1 to
3.3.3.
For the reference of current traffic condition, the Figure 10.2.6 shows the hourly peak traffic
turning volume for each intersection.

Final Report
Based on the above preparation for simulation, the Study team examined the validation of
traffic model with comparing observed traffic volume and simulated traffic volume.
Traffic volume and traffic signal phasing which were acquired from the traffic survey were
inputted into the simulator. The observed traffic volume and simulation volume was
compared, using the traffic volume and average speed for three hours from 6:00 am to 9:00
am in every 15 minutes (Kandy Road (A01) - Kelani Bridge - Base line Road - Orugodawatta
Intersection). The Figure 10.2.7 shows the results of both traffic volume and travel time.
10-7
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
Based on the observed traffic volume and simulation volume at total 156 points, which
consist of 13 points at 4 intersections for 12 observed periods (for each 15 minutes) for each
vehicle type (6 vehicle type: motor cycle, 3-wheeler, car, truck, trailer and bus), 85% of the
total target points are less than 5.0 of GEH Static5.
Considering that the input data for traffic volume was made by the different traffic survey
date, the developed traffic model was assessed to be enough accuracy for forecasting future
traffic condition evaluated by traffic engineering points of view.
The future traffic volumes for inputting into the micro-scopic traffic simulator developed with
the traffic model were estimated with the same procedure as described in 10.2.1. After
inputting in the simulator, the future traffic conditions in following cases were simulated.
There are four cases in the table below in order to estimate project benefits.

The Highways Agency's Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) advices that the match to traffic model shall be
considered that more than 85% of traffic volume points in target network shows less than 5.0 of GEH Static.

Final Report
In the case of “with the project” in the year of 2020, because there are options to use both
existing road and the Project road and reduce the frictions at intersections, the traffic
becomes smoothly distributed to Project road and the existing bridge. Therefore, the traffic
congestion is not seen at the same point. The figure below shows the comparison of
simulated traffic conditions between “without” project and “with” project. Both are simulation
results after inputted same number of traffic volume in the whole of network in the peak hour.

Baseline Road, Orugodawatta I/S Baseline Road, Orugodawatta I/S, Project Road I/C
At Orugodawatta intersection, after the improvement of lane management and signal phasing
control, serious traffic congestion does not occur compared with without project case since
the capacity of traffic volume is secured by the improvement. Note that the simulator advises
10-10
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
to require the proper traffic signal phasing control actuated by dynamic traffic volume on the
Baseline Road and merging traffic volume from off-ramp of elevated road.
The project road also eases the traffic congestion at Japan Friendship Bridge and major
roads inside CMC because of shifting from Negombo road of A03 to CKE.
The simulation results for the year 2035 seem to manage the flow of future traffic volume by
optimized dynamic traffic signal control at Orugodawatta intersection, however, it might be
advised as further treatment to provide separated road network without direct connection to
the Baseline Road. Once the extension of urban expressway (elevated road) for south bound
is realised in the future, the current plan of intersection improvement is enough to manage
the traffic.
10.2.4 Findings
The developed micro-scopic traffic simulation model in this Study can help to understand the
difference on traffic condition in both “with” and “without” the Project roads cases by checking
the simulated vehicle level (Micro level) movements.
Also in terms of traffic condition around the Project area, the developed simulator can
evaluate the impacts and changes by changing the condition of traffic volume, traffic/lane
management and traffic signal phasing.
As mentioned in 10.2.3, the Project road makes significant improvements for easing of the
current traffic congestion around the new Kelani Bridge simulated by the Micro-scopic traffic
simulator.
While “With Project” means implementation of the proposed project, “Without Project” stands
for the situation without such an investment. The economic benefits to be achieved by
implementation of the project are defined as the difference of vehicle operation costs and
passenger travel time costs.

Vehicle operation costs (VOC): VOC by vehicle types was estimated by updating the value
based on the “Assessing Public Investment in the Transport Sector 2010” by Ministry of
Finance and Planning, using the consumer price index (CPI). The VOC includes
maintenance cost, tyre cost, fuel and oil cost, the depreciation cost, crew cots and overhead
cost.

Traveler’s time cost (TTC): TTC was estimated by updating the value of working time of
passenger based on the “Urban Transport Development of the Colombo Metropolitan
Region, 2006” of JICA report, using the CPI, and converted to the time value by vehicle type
by multiplying by vehicle occupancy rate and the rate of work trips. In terms of the vehicle
occupancy, the driver of 3-wheelers and bus is not counted since their time values are
already included in VOC. The unit time value is assumed to increase in accordance with the
growth of per capita Gross Domestic Products (GDP). Therefore, the GDP growth rate until
2017 was referred to the forecast by IMF and Central Bank of Sri Lanka (AAGR = 6.5%), and
the forecast after 2018 was set up by the survey team (AAGR = 5.5 % from 2017 to 2020
and AAGR = 4.0% from 2020 to 2035).
Freight time cost was estimated by updating the average value of freight truck per ton based
on the “Outer Circular Highway to the City of Colombo, 2000” of JICA report, using the CPI.
The short-term interest value6 of the freight is considered as the opportunity cost to invest for

By shortening the transport time of the freight, the freight will be treated in the market as early as possible, and
the revenue can be used for new investment. It is general way of estimation based on the interest cost of

By using a micro-scopic traffic simulation, the project benefits are estimated with the
following procedure. The simulator can record the both inflow time and out-flow time for each
identified link by passing each vehicle. Therefore, vehicle operation cost and travel time cost
for each vehicle can be calculate and accumulated in total costs for each simulation case.
The VOC and traveller’s time cost for the 8:00 morning peak hour’s vehicles was
calculated for both “with project case” and “without project case” from the records of
traffic simulation.
The project benefits are difference of these costs, though the benefit is estimated only
in the morning peak hour. Therefore, the annual benefits are estimated, using the
conversion factors from the peak hour benefit8.

JICA introduced operation and effect indicators from 2000 as performance indicators to
enable project monitoring and evaluation through comparison with data that has been
consistently measured in previous pre- and post-stages of a project. Operation and effect
indicators are comparable to outcome indicators used by the World Bank. In the log frame for
the ODA loan project, they are recorded as indicators for “Project purpose”.
Operation and effect indicators are used to evaluate the performance of facilities, the
effectiveness of the functions of the Project, and the efficiency of operation and maintenance
activities after the Project implementation.

12.1 Generals
In general, the purposes of environmental impact assessment (EIA) are to ensure that
development options under consideration are environmentally sound and sustainable and
that environmental consequences are recognized and taken into account early in the project
design.
The EIA process is conducted to help public officials make decisions that are based on an
understanding of environmental consequences, and take actions that protect, restore and
enhance the environment.
12.2.1 General
The EIA report was prepared on the basis of proposed engineering works, field study,
stakeholder consultation, primary and secondary data collection, screening of all baseline
environmental items, existing environmental quality measurement, and review of the relevant
EIA and IEE report in Sri Lanka. The study of taken up during February to June, 2013.
The EIA covers the general environmental profile of the Project area including physical
environment, biological environment and socio-cultural environment. The existing
environment quality measurement was carried out on the water (surface and ground), air
quality, noise, vibration, flora & fauna. The EIA includes an overview of the potential
environmental impacts and their assessment, and propose necessary mitigation measures
and an environmental management plan for each of the identified impacts. And more, two
times of stakeholder meetings were conducted as he part of the EIA.
The EIA report has been prepared based on the Terms of Reference (ToR) issued by the
Central Environmental Authority (CEA), 05.03, 2013, while conforming to the JICA Guidelines
for Environmental and Social Considerations, April.2010.

Comparison of Alternatives
The EIA report was submitted to RDA on August 26, 2013 and It was submitted to the CEA
immediately.
According to the provisions of the National Environmental Act (NEA) regulations, the
construction of national and provincial highways involving a length exceeding 10 km is listed
as a prescribed project which requires an Environmental Assessment (EA), but construction
of a new bridge or renovation or expansion of an existing bridge has not been listed as a
prescribed project. At the same time, in accordance with NEA, the project has been listed as
the category of “Involuntary resettlement exceeding all families, other than resettlement
effected under emergency situations”.
The RDA is the implementing agency of the project while the Environmental and Social
Development Division (ESD) under the RDA and CEA are the supervising agencies for
environmental protection.

Final Report
The main difference between NEA and JICA guidelines is that under the NEA bridge
construction projects do not fall within the category of “Prescribed Projects” where as in JICA
guidelines it will be either category A or B project. Also JICA guidelines stipulate that public
consultations need to be carried out from the beginning of the project but as per the NEA the
EIA report is to be disclosed for public for a 30 day period for comments. Other differences
between JICA guidelines and NEA are listed below.

Environmental impact is defined as any change from the existing condition to the condition of
“with Project”. However, it is defined as the difference of impact between “with Project” and
“without Project” for global warning, since it is difficult to measure existing CO2 emission from
whole project area, and impact on global warming is generally evaluated by comparing the
difference between “with Project” and “without Project”. The findings of the assessment are
presented according to before construction, during construction and operation stage. The
impact will be determined the rating score, positive and negative.

Final Report
13.1 General
JICA indicates clearly the basic principle on involuntary Resettlement in the “JICA guidelines
for Environmental and Social Considerations” (April 2010, hereinafter “JICA Guidelines”) that
“People who must be resettled involuntarily and people whose means of livelihood will be
hindered or lost must be sufficiently compensated and supported by project proponents etc.in
a timely manner”.
The JICA requests borrowers to submit the Resettlement Action Plan (herein after “RAP”) for
the development Projects that contain large scale involuntary resettlement prior to the JICA
appraisals for the project. Note that the RAP shall meet the requirements of the JICA
Guidelines and WB OP.4.12 properly.
The RAP was prepared since the “Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Project” (herein after “Project”) was anticipated involuntary resettlement of more than 300
households based on the selected optimal plan of route alternative (referred to Volume 4).
The RAP was established based on the sub-contract with local RAP consulting firm under
JICA’s financial assistance and the summary of the RAP is described in this Chapter
Resettlement action plan is prepared to overcome adverse effects caused by land acquisition
to the people living in project affected areas. This plan has to be based on a systematic
assessment on the impact caused by the project to people and properties, representing their
basic socioeconomic information. This assessment is made by conducting a census survey
and a Socio Economic Survey (SES) simultaneously. The census and SES cover every
person affected living in the area. The both, the census and the SES use structured
questionnaires develop to suit specific objectives of the resettlement plan and the
socioeconomic characteristics of the project area.
13-1
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
The census and socioeconomic survey (SES) was conducted to collect all information on
socio-economic information of all affected people (AP) and their movable and immovable
properties in the project area. Identification of APs and their structures (houses and other
buildings) for data collection were based on the preliminary designs provided by the JICA
survey team (JST).
An Inventory of Losses (IOL) Survey was also conducted based on the preliminary designs
to identify the impact on the structures in the project area.
The data collected through the IOL survey included the following;
Total and affected areas of land, by type of land assets;
Total and affected areas of structures, by type of structure (main or
secondary)including wells and cemeteries;
Quantity and types of affected crops and trees;
Quantity of other losses, e.g., business or other income, jobs or other productive
assets; estimated daily net income from informal shops;
Quantity/area of affected common property, community or public assets, by type.
A separate common property survey was carried out simultaneously to identify all affected
common properties. All common properties were listed out with their location details.

2) Field Activities
The representatives from related GND and the member in charge of CAD of the RAP team
visited the PAPs which were identified in advance based on the preliminary design drawing
provided by JST. They confirmed the location of each structure affected by the project
based on the drawing and pasted stickers on entrances to the structures showing that they
will be counted as PAPs. The interview team followed them and interviewed PAPs. The
census survey was carried out during the months of April and May of 2013. Leaflets
prepared in local language which included project related information were distributed to
the PAPs before starting the interview.
3) Data Analysis
Completed and filtered questionnaires were sent to computer data processing and
analyzing.
Data gathered through filtered questionnaires were put in MS-excel sheets. Data was
processed using an algorithm developed using SQL server package in order to obtain all
necessary data tables of the RAP.

As the project is located within a highly urbanized area, there were not many trees with
timber value.
The Socioeconomic survey covered 449 households (HHs) consisting of 395 residential and
54 business units. The total project affected population are 1915.
The project area is a multi-ethnic area within the capital city of the country. Out of 449 HH
heads, almost a half of the population (46.5%) is Tamils, 43.9% is Sinhalese (the country

majority ethnic community) and 8.9% is Moors. There is a high degree of ethnic harmony in
the area as commonly seen in highly urbanized areas.
Out of the total population of 1743 excluding business population, Hindu accounts for 38.1%,
Buddhist for 36.2%, Christians for 15.9% and Moors for 9.7% respectively. Hindus are
exclusively Tamils and Buddhists are Sinhalese. Christians includes Tamils and Sinhalese
both. Muslims are exclusively Moors.
Out of 449 HH heads, 52 people (12%) are illiterate, 110 people (24.5%) have primary level
education and 250 people (55.6%) are little more than a half have secondary and higher
level of education.
Out of 449 HH heads, 53 people (11.8%) have salary employment opportunities, 131 people
(29%) are reported as casual labors and 54 people (12%) household heads are involved in
business. There are 94 people (20.9%) self-employed persons, mainly with boutiques, home-
based small scale manufacturing ventures, saloons, dress making and food preparations etc.
The unemployment rate among heads of household is as 28 or 6.2%.
Out of 395 residential HHs, 15 families (3.7%) receive income less than Rs. 10,000 per
month, and 342 families (82.7%) receive income between Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 60,000/- per
month, and 53 (13.4%) HHs receives a monthly income between Rs. 60,000 and Rs.
100,000/-. There are 12 HHs receive a monthly income more than Rs. 100,001.
The vulnerable household heads include; people over 60 years of age, household heading
women, physically disabled persons, chronically ill persons, widows/widowers and poor.
There are 102 vulnerable HHs among 395 household heads, representing 25.8% of the total
number of family heads. A half of the vulnerable persons are widows. Next is the physically
disabled persons (22), and the chronically ill (19) persons. There are only 6 HHs over 60
years of age.
13.2.2 Legal and Policy Framework for Land Acquisition and Involuntary
Resettlement
The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 is the most important legal provision which spells out
the Land acquisition process in Sri Lanka. It provides the payment of compensation at
market rates for lands, structures and crops.
The operational procedures of the LAA (1950) are as shown in the Table 13.2.7.
13-7
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
Although, LAA valuation of properties based on market value, there was a wide spread
general opinion that compensation paid for land through LAA process was very much less
than the prevailing market values. This had very destructive elements as public objections,
distrust, and misgiving negatively affected the development process of the country.
The regulation notified by Ministry of Land and Land Development in 2008(herein after “LAA
2008 regulations”) is an attempt to resolve underpayment for land and structures.
13-8
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
These are some provisions in the NEA Act No.47 of 1980, which refers to Involuntary
Resettlement. The Act stipulates the types of projects which need the approval under the
terms of the NEA. The schedule includes item 12 which refers to “involuntary resettlement
exceeding 100 families”.
Land Acquisition Act provides compensation only for land, structures, and crops and
provisions are not available to address key resettlement issues to mitigate or avoid impacts
on people resulting from land acquisition. In addition non titled people and other dependents
on land cannot be assisted under the LAA.
To address the current gaps in the LAA in addressing the key resettlement issues such as
exploring alternative project options that avoid or minimize impacts on people the
government of Sri Lanka (through the cabinet of Ministers) adopted the National Policy on
Involuntary Resettlement (NIRP) on the 24th May 2001. The NIRP also highlighted the need
for consultation of APs and their participation in the resettlement process actively.
13-9
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
e) Replacement land should be an option for compensation in the case of loss of land; in
the absence of replacement land cash compensation should be an option for all
affected persons
f) Compensation for loss of land, structures, other assets and income should be based
on full replacement cost and should be paid promptly. This should include transaction
costs.
g) Resettlement should be planned and implemented with full participation of the
provincial and local authorities.
h) To assist those affected to be economically and socially integrated into the host
communities; participatory measures should be designed and implemented.
i) Common property resources and community and public services should be provided to
affected people.
j) Resettlement should be planned as a development activity for the affected people.
k) Affected persons who do not have documented title to land should receive fair and just
treatment.
l) Vulnerable groups should be identified and given appropriate assistance to
substantially improve their living standards.
m) Project Executing Agencies should bear the full costs of compensation and
resettlement.
NIRP requires that a comprehensive Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) be prepared where 20
or more families are displaced. In case where less than 20 families are displaced, the NIRP
still requires a RAP with lesser level of detail. NIRP applies to all projects irrespective of
source of funding.
13-10
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
Measures to achieve this may include: providing land and monetary compensation for
losses (to cover land and property losses), supporting means for an alternative
sustainable livelihood, and providing the expenses necessary for the relocation and re-
establishment of communities at resettlement sites.
Appropriate participation by affected people and their communities must be promoted in
the planning, implementation, and monitoring of resettlement action plans and measures
to prevent the loss of their means of livelihood. In addition, appropriate and accessible
grievance mechanisms must be established for the affected people and their
communities.
For projects that will result in large-scale involuntary resettlement, resettlement action
plans must be prepared and made available to the public. In preparing a resettlement
action plan, consultations must be held with the affected people and their communities
based on sufficient information made available to them in advance. When consultations
are held, explanations must be given in a form, manner, and language that are
understandable to the affected people
Above principles are complemented by World Bank OP 4.12, since it is stated in JICA
Guideline that “JICA confirms that projects do not deviate significantly from the World
Bank’s Safeguard Policies”.
The JICA requests that the borrower follows the OP.4.12 of World Bank for addressing
individual issues on involuntary resettlement.
The World Bank experience indicates that involuntary resettlement under development
projects, if unmitigated, often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks.
The policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment risks.
Following are the key principles in the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement.
a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all
viable alternative project designs.
b) Displaced persons are to be provided prompt and effective compensation at full
replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.
c) Resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development
programs
d) Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to
participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.
e) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and
standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels
or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is
higher.
f) The absence of a formal legal title to land is not a bar to WB policy entitlements.
13-11
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
g) Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced,
especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children,
indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be
protected through national land compensation legislation.
h) The full costs of resettlement activities necessary to achieve the objectives of the
project are included in the total costs of the project.
i) Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to
establish their eligibility through an initial baseline survey.
j) Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced
persons whose livelihoods are land-based.
(7) Existing Gaps of Sri Lankan Laws and JICA Policies (WB.OP.4.12)
Regarding the approach to land acquisition and payment of compensation, although the
WB.OP.4.12 and NIRP are more or less similar, there are differences when compared with
the LAA and WB.OP.4.12. The Legislative Gap Analysis between the GOSL Laws/Policies
and the WB.OP.4.12 are shown in the Table 13.2.8.

(1) General
The Land Division (LD) of RDA headed by a director is the main division that deals with land
acquisition and payment of compensation as per the RAP. However, under certain conditions
Project Management Units (PMUs) responsible for specific projects are entrusted to carry out
land acquisitions related to their projects in consultation with LD, to expedite the land
acquisition process. It is therefore necessary that PMU effectively and efficiently coordinate
with these agencies, so that land acquisition and involuntary resettlement activities are
carried out properly and expeditiously.
Presently, the Chief engineering office (CEO), Colombo, in addition to its normal work, has
been attending to the Preparatory Survey as a counterpart of the JICA Survey Team. In the
near future, the CEO will face the serious capacity issues with increase of Project work. In
order to handle the Project work after establishment of the loan agreement with JICA, the
PMU for the Project will be established. The tasks which are conducted by the CEO will be
shifted to the newly established PMU.
(2) RDA
The responsibility of implementing the RAP will rest with the RDA, and its direct
responsibility lie with the PMU established for implementation of the Project. The
resettlement unit (RU) will be established in the PMU under Project engineer. The LD
assigns staff to the PMU as Land acquisition officer (LAO) and assistant LAO to be
entrusted with day-to-day monitoring and implementation of projects’ land acquisition and
resettlement activities.

The ESD oversees land acquisition and resettlement planning and monitoring
implementation of safeguards compliance under various RDA projects. In the absence of
skills and expertise in most PMUs, the ESD provides the necessary expertise to the
respective PMU. ESDD assist all projects in RDA currently to maintain land acquisition
database.
After approving proposed land acquisition by MLLD, DS initiates land acquisition process as
per the RAP until possession of land taken as the acquisition officer. In the RAP
implementation, DS is an important position as the coordinator of all development programs
in the division. Information available at DS office could be used to verify AP profiles with
regard to their encroacher, tenant or lessee situation, vulnerability, income levels,
employment etc.
In the land acquisition process, Survey Department has a statutory role as per the RAP to
survey land and prepare survey plans. On the formal request issued by acquisition officer
(DS), Survey Department conducts survey on the lands and prepared survey plans and the
list of persons claiming ownership for land/structures.

Final Report
On the request of acquisition officer of DS, Valuation Department assigned their staff to value
properties to be acquired and report to acquisition officers through Chief Valuer. The Chief
Valuer endorses the results of the valuation as the statutory commitment of the Department
of Valuation.
The Ministry of Ports and Highways (MOPH) is the national agency responsible for approving
RAPs prepared for road development projects of RDA. Although NIRP has assigned approval
of RAPs to CEA in its section on ‘Institutional Responsibilities’, this has to be taken as an
implicit approval rather than a formal approval by CEA.
The RAP implementation mechanism for the Project is shown in the Figure 13.2.3.

As shown in the Table 13.2.8, the WB.OP.4.12 and NIRP are more or less similar in terms of
the approach to land acquisition and payment of compensation. Therefore, the RAP for the
Project will be prepared based on the NIRP.

Final Report
The cut-off-date of eligibility refers to the date prior to which the occupation or use of the
project area makes residents/users of the same eligible to be categorized as PAP and be
eligible to Project entitlements. The establishment of the eligibility cut-off date is intended to
prevent the influx of ineligible non-residents who might take advantage of Project
entitlements.
For this Project, the cut-off date was discussed at “DS Level Awareness Creation Meeting”
held in the related DS offices from 8th to 10th April before the commencement day of the
socioeconomic survey.
The chief engineering office of RDA issued the request letter to the related DS offices to
declare “Cut –off date” based on the results of the meeting.

Based on the request, each DS issue an official announcement in local language on the cut-
off date for the Project. The official announcement was posted at DS offices and GN offices.
Replacement costs are the method of valuation of assets which helps determine the amount
sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of
valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
The replacement cost survey (RCS) was carried out in parallel with Socio-Economic Survey
and IOL surveys during May 15th and 16th June 2013.
The RCS team consisting of the member of JST and local RAP consultants tried to obtain the
information of replacement cost for land and structure from Dept. of Valuation. Based on the
official request by RDA, the preliminary discussion with the responsible person of the
Department was made on 15th May 2013.
At the meeting, it was revealed that at this level of operations (Feasibility study), actual
valuation values can’t be taken from the Dept. of Valuation without an official request made
under LAA.
Land values for the in the area was obtained from two real estate and property developers.
One company which did not wish to reveal their company name indicated the land value for
Orugodawatta(Kolonnawa DS) as Rs.1, 600,000/Perch. And the information from other
company being “Prime Lands” is as shown in the Table 13.2.10.

In order to obtain land values for Peliyagoda Gangabada East, the RCS team did a study
on paper advertisements on real estate where land values with acreage. According to the
information, the referential land value in Kelaniya DS considered as Rs.4,000,000 -
5,700,000/perch. The advertised selling value seemed to be considerable expensive
because the land is suitable for business.
The RCS team also made informal references to land acquisition of CKE (especially close
to Peliyagoda Gangabada East) which revealed a land value of about Rs. 800,000 /perch.
Then the RCS team visited the Grama Niladaris of respective GNDs to obtain their data of
land values. The land values stated by the GNs are based on the actual transaction in the
area as listed below.
13-18
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
The RCS team made sure that these values were checked with the three divisional
secretaries; 1) Colombo, 2) Kolonnawa and 3) Kelaniya. Their interpretation on tentative
land values were more or less the same to the values stated by GNs. However, they
indicated that the commercial land values may be 5-10% more than the average residential
land values of the area.
Finally the RCS team prepared replacement cost for residential and commercial land with
comprehensive considerations into the results of the RCS as shown in the Table 13.2.12.

The types of buildings are broadly categorized to 5 types based on the construction
materials used and the quality of construction. Irrespective of the current facilities the
replacement structure was assumed to have basic facilities such as electricity, water and a
proper toilet. A 20 ft X 15 ft (300 sq. m) building was considered and the cost was
calculated using the Building Schedule of Rates (BSR) of the Engineering Organization of
the Western Provincial Council, 01.08.2010. The rate per sq. meter was then calculated
and adjusted upwards by 20% to obtain 2013 rates.
The Table 13.2.13 shows rates to be used for preparing the resettlement budget.

Final Report
The National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP), World Bank OP.4.12 and JICA
guidelines on resettlement recognizes the need for re-establishing livelihoods of displaced
persons and improving their standard of living; avoiding impoverishment of people as a result
of compulsory land acquisition for development purposes; and providing livelihood
compensation and development options at the earliest opportunity to APs.
13-21
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
There are different types of livelihood and income restoration strategies as followings.
a) Cash-based assistance: Cash-based assistance is primarily a short-term strategy. It
could take different forms according to the context within which it is applied.
b) Land-based assistance: A land-based income restoration strategy can either be a short
term or a long-term strategy. A long-term strategy will include providing of replacement
land or assistance to purchase new land.
c) Non-land based assistance: A variety of assistance can be provided to APs under a
non-land based income restoration strategy which is usually a long-term strategy. It
could provide technical and vocational skills development training; access to micro-
finance; business development support services such as assistance for product
development and quality improvement, business planning, financial management and
accounting; support for accessing markets; and placements in suitable employment in
both government and private sector.
The income restoration programs (IRP) for them will be conducted as follows.
The NGO will be hired by the Consultant after establishment of L/A for the Project
PMU/RDA with assistance of the NGO will carry out the preference survey of the AHs
in terms of contents of the program and establish the detailed IRP based on the
results of the updated RAP. The IRP will be undertaken based on the detailed IRP.
There are 102 vulnerable HHs among 395 household heads, representing 24.3% of the
total number of family heads. These vulnerable people receive a special restoration
allowance once in addition to other entitlements. In addition to this, PMU will support them
to prepare for land acquisition inquiries and other assistance they need for smooth
transition. PMU will maintain close contact with vulnerable populations throughout the
project implementation.
The NIRP indicates that “Replacement land should be an option for compensation in the
case of loss of land; in the absence of replacement land cash compensation should be an
option for all affected persons.” In order to ensure the principle, it is necessary to consider
the mechanism for providing relocation site for all AHs.
13-22
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
According to the results of SES, No. of affected households and populations are 449HHs and
1,915 and out of 449 AHs, 359 HHs are untitled holders and 46HHs are titleholders.
(2) Issues
The 46 title holders will be compensated for their land and structures by way of cash
compensation.
As per the entitlement matrix for the project, the non-title holders are not eligible for land
compensation but they are entitled for receiving compensation for their affected structures.
This means that the non-title holders have nowhere to go without any cash compensation for
land or provision of alternative land even if they receive compensation for affected structures.
Therefore, the Project Executing Agency (RDA) will take all efforts to provide cash and land
based resettlement assistance to Aps.
In addition, the SES revealed that following large scale buildings belong to Government
Agencies/Institutes and Centres of Worship will be severely affected. Considering the
magnitude of the impact, the relocation of these structures is not avoidable.

The methodologies for relocation of AHs have been discussed with stakeholders at length.
RDA has considered three options for the relocation, i.e. (i) cash compensation, (ii) providing
a plot of land at Attidiya and (iii) providing housing unit from the UDA housing projects closer
to the current settlements. The option of providing a plot of land from Attidiya was dropped
as this will result in relocating the affected people in a distant place and they will find
difficulties in carrying out their livelihoods as well as the schooling of the children.
Consequently RDA prepared the proposal on the compensation policy mainly consisting of
two options as following.
13-23
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
RDA will pay to PAPs compensations for “self- relocation” as detailed in the compensation
policy in addition to the compensation for land and structures they are entitled in
accordance with the relevant legislation and other government policy. Note that the
compensation cost for land and structures calculated in the RAP was based on the
replacement cost survey done in the process of RAP preparation.
The compensation policy has identified different schemes for title holders and non-title
holders. The entitlements will also vary depending on whether the premises are residential
or commercial.
For commercial premises only option considered is cash compensation for sef relocation
as the Government does not have any projects which provide commercial space.
The affected residents will have the option of moving to housing unit built by the UDA close
to the project site as part of the “Urban Regeneration Project”. RDA will transfer part of
their land at Attidiya to UDA as payment to UDA and also make the APs relocation
entitlements and allowances direct to UDA as initial payments towards the housing unit.
(c) Public Meeting for Establishment of Basic Agreement on the Compensation Policy with
Stakeholders
A public meeting with stakeholders was organized and held at the Sri Lanka Foundation
Institute on 28th September 2013 and attended by a majority of the affected people, Elected
Representatives at National and Provincial Levels relevant to the project area, Project
Minister for Ports and Highways, Secretary to the Ministry of Ports and Highways and
Officials from RDA, Valuation Department and other relevant agencies. Representatives
from JICA office in Colombo were also invited and attended this meeting.
The basic agreement on the compensation policy with related community was established
through the discussion at the meeting. Note that this policy will need approval of the
Cabinet of Ministers before being adopted.

Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
The chief priest of the Kovil issued the official letter to RDA to express agreement for the
arrangement on 24th July (referred to Appendix 7).
The cost for the reconstruction of the Kovil is approximately LKR 13million as shown in
Table 13.2.17. Actual rehabilitation assistance will be based on the valuation by the Chief
Valuer and will be met from GOSL funds. Since only about 40% of the structure is affected
the Kovil can be rehabilitated in the balance premises. It is proposed to release funds
progressively during construction to the legal entity in charge the Kovil.
The Atomic Energy Authority (AEA) is affected by the construction of Kelanithissa Junction.
The buildings of AEA and radioactive materials stored in AEA must be relocated, since it is
difficult to change the location of Kelanithissa Junction.

The radioactive materials that AEA now stores are shown in Appendix 9. They
are radioactive wastes originated from medical, research and industrial use. No
wastes from power generation and military use are stored.
All radioactive materials are stored in the storage facility which is situated inside
the AEA’s premise. Radiation dose at the right front of the storage is 0.28μSv per
hour, which is below the standard value for tolerance dose regulated in Sri
Lanka. The Japanese standard value for tolerance dose regulated by Ministry of
Environment of Japan is set 0.23μSv per hour estimating 8 hours daily outdoor
for 365 days. Conversion of 1mSv per year. Although the value exceeds the
Japanese standard, it meets the Sri Lankan standard (0.5μSv per hour, 1.0mSv
per year).
Radioactive materials are stored in storage cell with containers which is placed in
the storage room of the storage facility (see Figure 13.2.6, Figure 13.2.7). These
containers are made from lead and kept in hollow shape concrete. In this way,
double wrapped structure for sealed containers in the storage is adopted to
prevent radioactive materials from diffusing to its surrounding. At this moment,
there are no radioactive materials except for waste are stored in the storage
room where radiation level is 7.9μSv per hour.

Relocation Site
AEA will be relocated to a site within the Information Technology Park in Malabe
provided by the Urban Development Authority. RDA is in the process of entering
into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AEA for the relocation the
facilities. The area proposed covers an area of 3 acres (1.2 Ha.) and is barren
land. There are no houses or buildings in the vicinity.
Other Institutions already established at the IT Park include Neville Fernando Sri
Lanka Russia Friendship Teaching Hospital, CINEC Maritime Campus of the

As for facilities after relocation, likewise the existing facilities, office building,
laboratory, and storage facility for radioactive wastes are to be constructed in the
relocation site. The storage facility for radioactive wastes will conform to Atomic
Energy Regulations No.1-O-1999, in which the facility clear all requirements
pertaining to storage process, thickness of concrete, distance to boundary of the
premise. Provisions for newly build facilities conform to “Reference design for a
centralized spent sealed sources facility (IAEA 1995)” and “Reference design for
a centralized waste processing and storage facility (IAEA 1994).
13-32
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
All existing radioactive wastes stored in AEA are to be transferred to the newly
constructed storage facility. Radioactive wastes after transfer will be properly
managed in accordance with “Atomic Energy Authority Act of 1969” and “WS-G--
6.1. Storage of Radioactive Waste” by IAEA.
Domestic laws or regulations setting standard value for annual space radiation
dose at normal period outside the premise are 1mSv per year. The standard
value set by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is also
1mSv per year. At the boundary of the premise the standard value will be
cleared.
At the relocation site any effluents containing radioactive materials will not drain
outside of the premise. Final disposal of radioactive materials will not be carried
out as well.
Radioactive materials are stored in double encapsulated seal sources and are
not emitted outside of sources. As the materials are strictly managed by AEA, it is
unlikely that radioactive materials adhere to the buildings and facilities in AEA.
Therefore on the demolition of the existing facilities, generation of radioactive
waste will not be expected.
13-33
Preparatory Survey on Traffic Improvement Project around New Kelani Bridge
Final Report
For the site after demolish, AEA will conduct a survey for soil contamination. If
the soil is found to have radioactive dose more than standard value, AEA will
decontaminate the soil and water used for decontamination and treat them as
radioactive wastes and store them in the storage of AEA in accordance with
procedures suggested by IAEA’s standard.
Relocation Schedule
Central Environmental Authority in Sri Lanka (CEA) confirmed that according to Sri
Lankan laws it is not necessary to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
pertaining to relocation of AEA including construction of new facilities in the relocation
site and demolition of existing facilities.
Relocation Cost
The relocation cost estimated is LKR 500 million. Breakdown of the cost is shown in
Table 13.2.19.

Final Report
Conclusion
From the description aforementioned, radioactive materials that AEA possesses are
used for medicals, research and industrials with limited small amounts, it is not
anticipated that adverse impact on environment and society as relocation of AEA
facilities will be conducted in accordance with domestic law and regulations which
conform to international standards suggested by IAEA and ICRP.
However, the surveys, investigations and other procedures required for demolition and
relocation of AEA facilities and transportation of radioactive materials must be carried
out in accordance with domestic and international lows/regulations/standards in the
detailed design and construction stages.
RDA will meet the relocation cost of all public utilities destructed, while respective state
agencies that are specialized in such functions undertake construction/relocation
responsibility of them under PMU’s monitoring to ensure continuation of such utilities.
The project is located within the flood plain of Kelani River and a lot of man made changes
have modified the natural environment in the area. RDA has conducted environmental impact
assessment (EIA) Study including environmental protection and management plan.
Information dissemination, consultation and participation process involved with APs and
other stakeholders maintained transparency throughout the RAP process. This openness
reduces potential conflicts; minimize risk of project delays and help RDA/PMU to formulate
resettlement and rehabilitation to suit the needs of APs.

The LAA provides a limited redress mechanism that only addresses issues pertaining to
compensation. The NIRP recommends the establishment of an internal monitoring system by
project executing agencies to monitor the implementation of Resettlement Action Plans and
handling of grievances. One of the key policy objectives is making all affected persons aware
of processes that are easily accessible and immediately responsive for grievance redress.
RDA has established the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) well defined functions,
composition, and a procedure to redress grievances during the implementation of road
development projects. A GRC can deal with complaints relating to unaddressed losses or
social and environment issues resulting from project implementation.
The GRC will be a five member committee headed by the Assistant Divisional
Secretary of the relevant division, Project director /Resettlement Officer, Site Engineer and
two civil society representatives (who may be chosen from among the recognized NGOs/
CBOs, clergy, persons representing DPs groups and women). The Resettlement Officer/
Resettlement Assistant of the RDA/ PMU will function as the Secretary of the GRC and will
be responsible for keeping record of all grievances registered and action taken on them.
When required, the GRC can seek the assistance of other persons/institution. For the
Project, three GRCs will be established for Colombo, Kolonnawa and Kelaniya divisions.

Final Report
The cost of land and structures used in the resettlement budget has been based on the
results of the RCS. Other allowances and incentives were based on the project entitlement
matrix. A provision for an IRP is included in the cost and budget.
Total cost of land acquisition and resettlement will be approximately LKR 2,599million
equivalent to US$20.5million (at an exchange rate of LKR 127 for 1US$). This amount
includes provisions for income restoration including training and contingencies.
In preparing the budget it was assumed that 50% of the titled Residents and 20% of the non
titled residents will opt for cash compensation. This figure is subject to change after the
individual public consultation the RDA plans to undertake by distributing forms to the APs and
getting their preference for mode of compensation.

14.1 Conclusion
Conclusion of the Preparatory Survey is as follows:
Hence, it is justified to implement the Project for national and people’s benefits.
The Project Road is comprised of the Main Line and the Port Access Road, and two
roads are connected by a junction.
The alignment of the Main Line begins at north of Orugodawatta Intersection and
connects to CKE at end point.
The alignment of the Port Access Road begins at Kelanithissa Junction and connects to
existing port access road at end point
Three types of bridge are constructed in the Project, namely, extra-dozed bridge for
main bridge, steel box girder bridge above the existing road and for ramps, and PC box
girder bridge along the existing road.

14.2 Recommendations
Recommendations for further studies and tasks are as follows:
The master plan study for Colombo metropolitan region and the suburbs (CoMTrans) is
going on now, and will be completed in April 2014. Some project will be proposed in
Colombo as a result of the master plan. It is recommended that the design of this
Project will be modified in the detailed design stage in consideration of the projects
proposed by CoMTrans, if necessary.
Public utilities such as waterworks, telephone line, electricity line, power line, etc. were
identified based on the topographic survey and existing documents in the Preparatory
Survey. The preliminary design was carried out in consideration of the information.
However, it is recommended that detailed survey for the public utilities should be carried

out in the detailed design stage, and the design will be reviewed based on the detailed
survey result.
It is recommended that RDA will undertake the tasks for the EIA and RAP during the
entire project period in order to implement the Project successfully.
