9 Arches Bridge
Commissioned in 1921 during British rule, the Nine Arch Bridge stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering and architectural brilliance. Connecting Ella and Demodara railway stations, this bridge offers walkers panoramic views of rolling hills and dense jungles.
Dubbed the ‘Bridge in the Sky,’ the Nine Arch Bridge was built by joining two towering mountains during the construction of the Badulla – Colombo railway line. Stretching 300 feet in length, 25 feet in width, and 80-100 feet in height, it’s a prime example of colonial-era railway construction. To reach the bridge, follow Gotuwala road for 2km from Halpe Textile Centre on Badulla Bandarawela road.
