Abstract
In Sri Lanka, many bridges constructed in the colonial period are still remained. It is very fortunate like Southeast Asia and South American countries that Sri Lanka avoid big war, so that it become a very few area in the world where have many old bridges. I have investigated many old bridges while I stayed in Sri Lanka for the JICA gratuitous work connected with reconstruction of bridges last year. Up to now, there is few discussion on the viewpoint of civil history even if investigations for maintenance and repairs of bridges almost finish. This report expresses the present situations of OLD BRIDGES and some beautiful old bridges in Sri Lanka
