🌉 A Scenic and Historic Bridge in Trincomalee

The Irrakkakandi Bridge is not just an important piece of infrastructure—it’s a beautiful spot to stop and admire nature. Stretching across the serene Irrakkandi Lagoon, this bridge connects Trincomalee to Pulmoddai and offers breathtaking views, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Built with support from the Saudi Arabian government and opened in 2009, it’s one of the longest bridges in Sri Lanka. Whether you’re driving across or stopping nearby to take photos, the peaceful surroundings and gentle lagoon breeze make it a pleasant experience.

It’s also close to attractions like Pigeon Island, so you can easily combine your visit with other sightseeing stops in the area. The bridge is well-maintained and safe, making it a smooth route for locals and tourists alike.
