Pits on A9

[medenap]

The A9 road extending from Kandy to Jaffna is famous because of many reasons. The segment from Kandy to Matale was developed few years back with carpets expending huge amount of public money. since just after finishing work various departments including water board started digging the road making funny drama as usual. Not only they dig it far far deep but also let it there making as "Boru wala". Large number of vehicles invariably get damaged because of this unexpected traps with sharp margins on the road.After making the pit they do not close it properly... First they fill those with some stones and sometime leave for months... Rain makes the pits nicely again. After a long time they make a patch with some ordinary tar as making a road 100 years ago... Some time later the places get depressed because of the pressure from vehicles and either making a shallow pit or even larger pit especially because of rain. This is the common theory practicing in Sri lanka. That's why we are 100 years behind compared to the other nations in the region. The responsible groups do not know what the basics are. And I dont know how long it would take to understand those..
