Nine Arches Bridge
About Nine Arches Bridge
The Nine Arch Bridge in Ella is one of Sri Lanka’s most photographed landmarks. Surrounded by lush tea plantations and jungle-covered hills, this colonial-era railway bridge offers a magical moment when the iconic blue train curves across its nine elegant arches.
Watch the famous blue train pass slowly over the bridge — a postcard-perfect Sri Lankan experience loved by photographers.
Built entirely of stone, brick, and cement without steel, this British-era structure is an impressive example of early 20th-century railway craftsmanship.
The bridge is framed by dense greenery and rolling tea estates, creating one of the most scenic railway views in Asia.
