In Sri Lanka up to 210 rural bridges will be built or repaired around the country following a financial deal worth US$44.14 million agreed with the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). The deal was arranged between the Sri Lankan Government and the HSBC in a bid to improve rural connectivity. The bridges measure from 6-30m in length and will be built by Cleveland Bridge UK. The plan is for the bridges to be completed within a three year period.
