The Southern Transport Development Project (STDP) has two components: the southern highway component and the road safety component. The highway component consists of the construction of a new highway linking Colombo with Galle, the capital of the Southern Province of Sri Lanka, and Matara while the road safety component addresses Sri Lanka's serious road traffic accident situation. The highway will be about 126 kilometers (km), and a 5.6 km Galle access road will also be constructed.
STDP also supports policy and institutional reform in its two-fold primary objective: to spur economic development in the southern region and to significantly reduce the high rate of road accidents. STDP's secondary objective is poverty reduction. The original ADB project for STDP was funded by ADB, JBIC, GOSL, the Nordic Development Fund and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. The highway component is implemented by the Road Development Authority (RDA) with the Ministry of Highways and Road Development as the executing agency.
