World’s longest and highest glass bridge in China closes indefinitely due to overwhelming response two weeks after its grand opening.
The bridge – standing at 180 metres above ground – garnered so much popularity within a short span of time that it had to be closed just 2 weeks after its opening.
The bridge is 430 meters long and allows only 800 people to cross it at one point of time.
It hangs 300 metres above ground and is said to have been inspired by the landscapes of the movie, Avatar.
Officials maintaining the bridge said they were overwhelmed with the response they received since the opening of the bridge on August 13. But it only means that it will soon need some urgent repairs.
The bridge was already exceeding its limit of 8,000 people per day by 10 times!
