Maga Engineering has been awarded a Rs2.89 billion contract for the extension of the Baseline road project, according to official announcements. The contract is part of Sri Lanka's broader infrastructure development initiative aimed at improving connectivity in key urban corridors.
The Baseline extension project forms part of the government's systematic approach to upgrading critical transport routes that service high-traffic areas. The contract value underscores the scale of investment being directed towards road infrastructure modernisation across the country.
Maga Engineering's selection for the project follows a procurement process. The company will be responsible for executing the extension work, which is expected to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion along the corridor.
The project aligns with Sri Lanka's infrastructure spending priorities as the country seeks to modernise its transport network. Road development initiatives have been identified as key drivers of economic activity and improved accessibility to commercial and residential zones.
No timeline for project completion was immediately disclosed, though contract awards of this magnitude typically span multiple fiscal periods.
