Buldozer Memorial

About 1km south of the causeway's southern end there is a large memorial to Gamini Kularatne, a Sri Lanka Army soldier who single-handedly disabled an armored LTTE bulldozer. The repainted vehicle – complete with a large hole from an explosion in its side – is mounted on a plinth. Nearby is a display about Kularatne's life, complete with letters to his mother, a pay stub and more.
