Nine Arch Bridge placed among 10-most-stunning-railway journeys of the world

The Times of India, the fourth-largest newspaper in India by circulation and largest selling English-language daily in the world has placed, Nine Arch Bridge among 10-most-stunning-railway journeys of the world.

Nine Arch Bridge is one of the engineering marvels of the 20th century and a must visit is built between Ella and Demodara train stations. The bridge was designed to accommodate a challenging nine-degree curve and steep gradient and was built entirely by local labor under British supervision and is one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the country.

Completed in 1919, the bridge has since stood resilient, showcasing innovative engineering solutions such as concrete cornice blocks for arch support and locally produced sand-cement blocks for facing.
