Kallady bridge as seen from the Batticaloa Dutch Star Fort, Sri Lanka.

The old bridge at Kallady, crossing the Batticaloa lagoon is seen in this picture taken from the ramparts of the Dutch Star Fort, across the lagoon. A new bridge is being built and will wipe away this view when the bridge is completed..

The arch bridge at Pilimathalawa, Sri Lanka.

The construction of a road to Kandy by the British was a very ardous task. After the climb up Kadugannawa various streams had to be crossed before the crossing of the Mahawely at Peradeniya. This was an arch bridge constructed at Pilimathalawa. Note the Sinhalised spelling of Edward Barnes on the name board.
