The renovation of Weralupa road in Ratnapura started in 2011.  But the authorities  have failed to complete the work and this is the state of the road that is used as an alternative road to Colombo.  The people in the area have appealed to authorities but the Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council  has attended to only a part of it.
