Rehabilitation of Arugam Bay Bridge

The bridge across the Arugam Bay Lagoon was damaged by the Tsunami. Rehabilitation of the bridge started under the US AID funded Tsunami Affected Area Rehabilitation Project. The proposed rehabilitation consists of the construction of the Main bridge, the small bridge and the approach route to both bridges. Further, Dynamic pile test (PDA) and crosshole sonic logging (CSL) were conducted on a 1000mm diameter bored pile.
