Expressway tolls to rise

The tolls paid by consumers on the expressways are not enough, Treasury Secretary P.B. Jayasundera said, and are likely to be increased in the future. The Rs. 400 (Colombo-Galle) and Rs. 300 (Colombo-Katunayake) collected is a concessional price, or a ‘promotional price,’ as he puts it, and will be increased soon. “The toll you pay is not enough; it will gradually go up, because we must recover the cost.”
