Old and new bridges at Manampitiya, Sri Lanka.


There were two bridges accommodating both rail and road traffic at Manampitiya and Ottamawady on the road to Batticaloa in Sri Lanka. New separate concrete bridges have been built for each of these now. The bridge at Manampitiya spans the Mahawely Ganga the biggest river in Sri Lanka. I took these pictures of the old and new bridges recently while on a trip to Batticaloa.
