What the Drive Is Like
Roads
The Southern Expressway (E01) runs from Matara through Galle to Colombo quickly, then the coastal road or highway continues north to Negombo. This is one of the most straightforward routes in Sri Lanka, mostly dual carriageway or expressway.
Scenery
The expressway passes through flat coastal lowlands and coconut plantations. The brief section near Galle Fort and the coastline north of Colombo offer glimpses of the Indian Ocean. Negombo's lagoon and beaches mark the final stretch.
★ Travel Tips
- The expressway has tolls; keep small Sri Lankan Rupee notes for the toll plazas.
- If you have time, a 30-minute stop at Galle Fort adds cultural depth to the journey.
