Peliyagoda – Puttalam Road (A003) is the main A-class road of the Road Development Authority (RDA) which connects Western province to the North Western province along the west coastal plate of the country. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Funded integrated Road Investment Project (iRoad) project rehabilitates and improve the A003 road from Kochchikade Bridge to Chilaw 51km (38+000 to 89+000) as proper two-lane road along with the road structures and road furniture under 4 design and build contracts.

N S Associates designs the 50+000 km to 63+000 km section from Marawila to Ma-oya under the Consulting Engineers & Contractors (Private) Limited Marawila city limit is the main congest location of the section, which connects the other suburbs. Therefore, the town area improvement is critical to facilitate the local stakeholders.
