The Grand Canyon installment is expected to be the longest and tallest glass-bottomed bridge in the world. Meanwhile the glass architecture is designed in such a way to minimize any disruption to be caused to the surrounding scenery.
Glass Bridge is designed to be invisible as possible. This appears as a white bridge disappearing into the clouds. but it can withstand high winds, earthquakes, frost and the weight of 800 visitors at a time.
The bridge is constructed with two side steel beams, handrails with side-hanging stay cables and a glass deck. Authorities have plan to develop the bridge as a venue for the highest bungee jump in the world. If so, it can definitely beat the current record holder, the 233 Macau Tower Bungee jump.
