The Port City Project and Colombo Port Expansion Project will be open for public viewing on January 3 and 4 from 8.am to 6.p.m. 

Ports Authority said it decided to open the two projects for public viewing due to the ‘request of the general public’.

Colombo Port City is a planned offshore city in Colombo, Sri Lanka which is to be built on reclaimed land adjacent to the Galle Face Green. The city will use construction resources from the Colombo Harbour Expansion Project, currently under construction near the site of this proposed city.

The Opposition has been against the project from the beginning and United National Party leader Ranil Wickremsinghe even said that they would cancel the project if the opposition won the 2015 presidential election.

Wickremesinghe said that the project would end up destroying the coastal belt from Negombo to Beruwala.
