Nine Arch Bridge

The Nine Arch Bridge, also called the Bridge in the Sky, is a viaduct bridge in Sri Lanka. It is one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the country. The construction of the bridge is generally attributed to a local Ceylonese builder, P. K. Appuhami, in consultation with British engineers. The chief designer and supporting engineer of the railway line project were D. J. Wimalasurendra and M. S. Thiruchittampalam. It is located in Demodara, between Ella and Demodara railway stations. The bridge is built entirely of solid rocks, bricks and cement without using a single piece of steel.
