Glass Bridge over the Grand Canyon
For those who are not prone to dizziness, a new attraction - a glass bridge - will open over Arizona's Grand Canyon on January 1, 2007. Above this majestic natural formation, which reaches a depth of up to 1829 meters and a width of 6 to 30 km, the world's longest cantilevered steel structure is slowly taking shape. The joint project of entrepreneur David Jin and Las Vegas architects MRJ Architects is located 1200 meters above the Colorado River and will cost a total of 10 million dollars. The glass cantilever is expected to hold 72 visitors, withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, and endure wind gusts of up to 160 km/h. The ticket price has also been announced, it will be a flat 19 Euros (25 dollars). Info>
