India's New Glass Bridge: A Stunning Landmark in Visakhapatnam
India is set to witness the opening of its longest glass bridge atop the Kailasagiri Hills in Visakhapatnam on September 25, 2025. Stretching 55 meters in length, this impressive cantilever glass bridge will surpass Kerala’s Vagamon Glass Bridge (38 meters), establishing itself as the longest glass bridge in the country.
The bridge, constructed at a cost of Rs 7 crore, showcases cutting-edge engineering with three layers of 40mm tempered German glass. These layers ensure both durability and safety while offering a crystal-clear walking surface. The bridge is supported by 40 tonnes of steel, providing the necessary structural integrity for its cantilever design.
A Breathtaking Tourist Attraction of Kailasagiri Glass Bridge
This skywalk is not just an architectural feat but also a visual spectacle. Positioned at a height, it offers visitors stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, particularly the Bay of Bengal coastline. The bridge promises to be a major tourist attraction in Visakhapatnam, drawing both local and international visitors eager to experience this one-of-a-kind view.
Impressive Load Capacity of Kailasagiri Glass Bridge
Designed with safety in mind, the Kailasagiri Glass Bridge can withstand a load of 500 kg per square meter, ensuring it can comfortably accommodate over 100 people at once. To further enhance safety, visitor entry will be regulated in batches of 40 people to prevent overcrowding and maintain a secure experience for all visitors.
