Kallady Bridge
கல்லடிப் பாலம்
A steel truss bridge completed in 1924 across Batticaloa Lagoon, long a traditional place to listen for the 'singing fish'.
Kallady Bridge, also known as Lady Manning Bridge, was completed in 1924 and was once one of the longest iron bridges in Sri Lanka, connecting Batticaloa town with Kallady. The old bridge is now for pedestrians only, and a new road bridge has been built alongside it. The legendary singing fish are most often heard in the waters beneath the bridge, and locals come on windless nights to listen quietly. By day you can enjoy views of the lagoon and fishing boats from the bridge. It can be visited together with Kallady Beach and the fort.
