Nine Arch Bridge to Open for Night-Time Tourism

As part of the program, decorative lighting will be installed around the historic bridge, allowing visitors to experience its charm even during night-time hours. This marks a significant step in promoting the site as a nighttime tourist attraction.

General Manager of Railways Dhammika Jayasundara stated that the project is scheduled to begin in August. “Once the site is further developed and its attractiveness enhanced, a nominal fee will be charged for entry. We plan to levy a minimal fee for local tourists,” he said.

The Nine Arch Bridge, a popular photo and sightseeing spot nestled between Ella and Demodara railway stations, is renowned for its colonial-era architecture and lush surroundings. The new enhancements are expected to significantly boost visitor experience and tourism in the region.
