Floodwaters Split Vadduvakal Bridge in Two, Causing Major Transport Disruption

The Vadduvakal Bridge in Mullaitivu has suffered severe structural damage after rising floodwaters caused the bridge to break apart in two separate locations, the Road Development Authority (RDA) confirmed today.

Officials said the collapse has cut off a key route used by residents and essential services, creating major transport difficulties in the region. Engineering teams have been dispatched to inspect the damage and determine the stability of the remaining structure.The RDA has advised motorists and pedestrians to keep away from the affected area due to safety risks. Restoration work will begin once water levels recede and conditions are safe for repairs.
