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.

Kotmale Oya Bridge is located in an incredibly beautiful place surrounded by lush tropical greenery, that’s why the old structure isn’t neglected by modern tourists. They see the old bridge, first of all, as an extreme attraction. Worn boards that may fall under the foot at any time, the low railing and violent torrent of water at the bottom, which can’t be resisted even by large stones, call for huge courage and irresistible craving for adventure.
