Built by mistake - Halab Bridge
I will start this story with a story told by our ancestors about this bridge.....
It is that this bridge which was supposed to be taken to 'Halawata' and fixed was taken to 'Halawata' by mistake.....
But there is nothing wrong with that story, because anyone can be curious about the construction of this bridge only here without connecting to any road....
There are only two small footpaths on both sides...
There is no main road except small side roads on both sides of this bridge...
Those who go here will also wonder why this bridge was built at this place without any connection to a main road.
However, this is a wonderful design that was completed in August 1919, that is, during the British rule.
The 'Halaba' bridge, built across the Uma Oya in the 'Halaba' area of Uva Paranagama, connecting Uva Paranagama Divisional Secretariat Division and Haliela Divisional Secretariat Division, is a wonderful work done during the British rule.
As a bridge built for railways, this bridge, which is built entirely with iron arches, has used sleeper rods for the base...
But this is not a railway bridge...
It is 327 feet long and has been completed in three parts of 124 feet each.
The width of the first and last sections is 10 feet and the width of the middle section is 8 feet.
Currently, the sleeper logs placed at the base of the bridge are now decaying.
One end of this bridge, which is located at the end of Uvaparanagama Thuppitiya Grama Niladhari domain, belongs to Uvaparanagama and the other end belongs to Haliala itself....
