Ruwanawella Bridge is an iron arch bridge built over the Gurugoda Oya, a tributary of the Kelani River, in Ruwanwella during the British colonial era. The upper part of the bridge is long and wide and is the shape of an arch. A new bridge is under construction in place of this bridge.
The bridge was formally recognised by the Government as a protected archaeological monument on 6 February 2009.
On 27 May 2011 Sri Lanka Post issued a Rs.15 stamp with a photograph of the bridge, as part of a set of stamps commemorating bridges and culverts in Sri Lanka.
