Sri Lanka’s first expressway, also known as the Southern Expressway, was inaugurated in 2011. Stretching 95.3 kilometers (59.2 miles) from Kottawa/Colombo to Galle, it was the first of many expressways in the country. Today, Sri Lanka boasts over 312 kilometers (194 miles) of expressways, strategically connecting the southern and central regions.

The expressway network in Sri Lanka consists of E-Grade highways, which are access-controlled toll roads designed for high-speed travel. The speed limits on these roads range from 80 to 100 kilometers per hour (50 to 62 mph).
