  Eng. (Mr.) P. P. A. Nihal Chandrasiri
  The Chairman
  Provincial Road Development Authority
  Central Province, Sri Lanka

The historical development of the road network in the country began since Colonial times when roads were constructed mainly to transport agricultural produce such as Tea and Coffee from plantation areas to the Colombo harbor and for Civil Administration and defense. The roads initially constructed in the country catered for animal drawn carts. With the advent of the motor vehicles in the country in the 1940s, it became necessary to improve the road network to cater for the needs of the motor vehicles.

The functions of the PRDA were expanded in 1989, when the Provincial council was established. In 1989 with the devolution of power under the 13th amendment to the constitution, the C and D class roads and the bridges thereon were handed over to the Provincial Councils.
