Mannar Bridge is a vital lifeline in Northwestern Sri Lanka, connecting the scenic Mannar Island to the mainland via the A14 Highway. Stretching 157.8m in length and 10.4m in width, this two-lane bridge replaced an ageing structure from the 1930s that was severely damaged during the civil war. For years, a temporary bailey bridge struggled to meet the needs of the growing population until the current modern bridge was completed in 2010. The bridge has transformed daily life, boosting trade, improving access to education and healthcare, and opening new opportunities for economic growth. More than just infrastructure, Mannar Bridge stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal.
