Highway Museum complex, Transportation museum in Kiribatkumbura, Sri Lanka.

The Highway Museum lies along the A1 main road between Colombo and Kandy and displays a collection of road construction equipment from different periods. The exhibition includes rollers, tar boilers, scales, and a model of a wooden bridge.

The Road Development Authority maintains this museum, which holds former construction equipment such as stone, steam and oil road rollers, tar boilers and coal scales. Some of the items on display are reportedly over 175 years old, dating from the era of early modern road building in Sri Lanka.

The collection shows traditional tools and machines that were used for road building over many generations. Visitors can see how people and animals once worked together and how techniques changed through time.

The museum is an open-air display alongside the A1 highway in Kiribathkumbura, with no entrance fee and no set visiting hours, so you can stop by at any time. There is no 68th milestone marker; the exhibits stand directly by the road.

The museum holds a model of the Bogoda Wooden Bridge, one of Sri Lanka's oldest surviving wooden bridges, dating to the 16th century. The display also includes stone, steam and oil road rollers, tar boilers and coal scales, some reportedly over 175 years old.
