Verugal Bridge


Verugal Bridge is a road bridge across Verugal Aru in eastern Sri Lanka. The bridge was formally opened on 19 October 2011.
The bridge is long. The bridge cost 250 million rupees and was financed by a soft loan from the French Development Agency's Trincomalee Integrated Infrastructure Project and the Sri Lankan Government's Kilakku Vasantham programme. The bridge is part of the A15 Batticaloa-Trincomalee highway. The bridge replaced a ferry boat service that had been transporting people and vehicles across the river.
