    Anyone traveling to Kandy along the Colombo-Kandy Road has to negotiate many bends - some of them hairpin bends - as they go up the Kadugannawa incline. At the last and sharpest of these bends, the road forks; and one goes through a tunnel, wide and high enough for a bus or lorry to pass. The other road makes a wider bend and goes a few feet over the rock

    The road connecting Colombo and Kandy is the first main road
    constructed in Ceylon, construction work began in 1820 under
    the supervision of William Francis Dawson assisted by Major
    Skinner, during British rule. Captain Dawson died before the
    completion of the project and the Dawson Tower was erected
    in his memory in 1832. at Kadugannawa.
