Google Maps Begins Updating Sri Lanka's Road Network


(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) Google Maps has commenced updating information on Sri Lanka's road network covering around 12,000 kilometers, Minister of Transport Bimal Ratnayake has stated.

Information on A, B, and C-class roads in Sri Lanka is expected to be updated.

The initiative introduces six types of condition alerts, including lane closures and construction notices, to help travelers plan their journeys more efficiently.

According to the Minister's statement on X (formerly Twitter), the new feature is expected to reduce travel delays, improve route planning, and minimize unexpected congestion for road users.

He further encouraged the public to check their Google Maps app for the latest updates and make use of the enhanced data while traveling.

The project will operate as a pilot program until 31 December, he added.
