Message from João Petersen

The Nine Arch Bridge, also known as the "Bridge in the Sky," is a stunning viaduct bridge in Sri Lanka that showcases colonial-era railway construction. Built in 1919 with innovative engineering solutions, this bridge stands tall between Ella and Demodara railway stations. Local folklore credits a Ceylonese builder, P. K. Appuhami, for its construction, but there's no concrete evidence to support this claim. The bridge's challenging nine-degree curve and steep gradient make it a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors to admire its architectural ingenuity and picturesque surroundings.
