Article 3- Skywalk














The Skywalk is the first ever cantilevered glass walkway which is suspended above a 4,000+ overhang of the grand canyons floor and is located 25 meters out from the perimeter. The final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more than 71 million pounds). One hundred and twenty people will be allowed on the bridge at a time. Admittance is first come basis.
