"Grand Canyon Skywalk"
The Glass Bridge Construction of the Skywalk began March of 2004 and is
estimated to be completed by 4th quarter of 2006.

Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the
Grand Canyon. On May 2005, 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 that 71 million pounds).

The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different
directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million
pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
