So you think you’re pretty brave, but are you brave enough to take a walk across a bridge with a glass bottom?
Workers in Hunan province, China, have begun installing panels in a glass-bottomed bridge that will span the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.
The view will be spectacular: if you can stomach the view below you.
The bridge, which is set to be completed in May after delays, is 430 metres long, six metres wide and can hold 800 people.
China seemingly has a love of glass floors. They even have a glass walkway around the side of a mountain.
And here’s the scariest part: the last glass bridge in China — which opened on Sept. 20, 2015 — had to be closed when, two weeks after opening day, cracks appeared in the glass. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The bridge is estimated to cost more than $20 million.
