Kallady Bridge, Colonial bridge in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka

Kallady Bridge spans the Batticaloa Lagoon and connects both sides of this eastern coastal city. The modern structure carries thousands of vehicles daily across the lagoon waters on the main highway route.

The original bridge was constructed during British colonial times and later replaced by a modern structure. This new version continues to serve as the primary link between the lagoon's eastern and western shores.

The bridge holds local importance as a connection point between communities on either side of the lagoon. Residents and visitors regularly gather here to experience the mysterious sounds that occur in the waters below.

The bridge is easily accessible via the main highway and offers clear views of the waters below. Visiting outside rush hours makes the experience more comfortable for walking and taking in the surroundings.

Visitors and locals report hearing unusual sounds emanating from beneath the bridge, particularly on moonlit nights. These acoustic phenomena have given the area a distinctive reputation that draws curious people to experience them.
