Bogoda Wooden Bridge, Wooden footbridge in Bandarawela, Sri Lanka
The Bogoda Wooden Bridge spans across the Gallanda Oya river with a length of 15 meters and width of 1.5 meters, featuring a tiled roof structure.
Built during the Dambadeniya era in the 16th century, this structure served as a crucial link between the towns of Badulla and Kandy on an ancient route.
The bridge incorporates architectural elements from the Kingdom of Kandy, with decorated wooden fences displaying traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship and design patterns.
Located 26.4 kilometers from Ella, visitors can access the bridge via the Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Highway and then following the Ella-Halpe Road to Katawala-Haliela Road.
The entire bridge, including its nails, was constructed using wood from various tree species such as Jack fruit, Kumbuk, Kaluwara, and Milla timber.
