Kotmale Oya Bridge, Sri Lanka
From series “The Most Dangerous Bridges in the World”
There is an extreme bridge in Sri Lanka too. Kotmale Oya Bridge goes across the rough and muddy river of the same name. The bridge has been built long time ago, so wooden boards have decayed and impressive holes formed in between. The relative strength of the bridge is provided with railings made of steel rods; even the locals don’t quit holding them.
