The Bridge of the Singing Fish
Kallady Bridge — 1 km east of Batticaloa town centre
THE NEW SPANPhoto by Anton 17 on Wikimedia CommonsCome on a full-moon night, when tradition says the lagoon's singing fish can be heard from the old bridge.
Two bridges side by side over Batticaloa Lagoon: the five-span 1924 truss bridge named for Lady Manning, the governor's wife, and a 288-metre two-lane replacement opened in March 2013. In 1954 two American priests from St Michael's College recorded the 'singing fish' sounds under the old bridge, later broadcast on Radio Ceylon.
