一座标志性的弧形石头铁路高架桥，坐落在丛林和茶园中，以火车穿越九个拱门的照片而闻名。

概述

九拱桥是斯里兰卡最出镜的地标之一，这是一座 91 m 长的优雅殖民时代高架桥，完全由石头、砖块和水泥建成，不含钢材。它横跨埃拉车站和德摩达拉车站之间郁郁葱葱的绿色峡谷，吸引了大批人群聚集在一起观看山地火车缓慢地蜿蜒穿过其九个拱门。步行一小段路穿过茶园和森林即可到达最佳观景点。

历史

The bridge dates to the early 20th century, built during the British construction of the Colombo-Badulla hill-country railway. Local lore holds that when wartime steel shortages halted work, a local builder completed it using only stone and brick, which is why it stands as one of the finest examples of the era's masonry railway engineering.
