Indian Army Builds Third 120-Feet Bailey Bridge in Sri Lanka to Restore Connectivity

The Indian Army's Engineer Task Force has constructed a third 120-feet-long Bailey bridge on Sri Lanka's B-492 Highway, reconnecting the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts. This follows two earlier bridges built in Jaffna and Kandy regions, collectively restoring road connectivity and access to essential services after Cyclone Ditwah caused extensive damage. These efforts, part of Operation Sagar Bandhu launched in November 2025, demonstrate India's commitment to humanitarian assistance and the Neighbourhood First policy.
