    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.​
