[China Glass Network] Patna News: Bihar is building a transparent glass sky bridge to welcome tourists from all over the world who like to travel and explore, in order to drive the local tourism economy.

       This glass bridge is India's first glass bridge. It is built amidst scenic mountains and is located in Rajgir County, Nalanda, the hometown of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

   The 200-foot-high, 85-foot-long, and 6-foot-wide glass bridge is likely to be opened to tourists early next year. The project is underway. Some 15mm glass mirrors have been used to build the bridge. It is reported that the thickness of the mirror is 45 mm and it is completely transparent.

   People walking on it feels like floating in the air. The local area is also very concerned about the safety of tourists, and this bridge can accommodate about 40 tourists at a time.

   Chief Minister Kumar (Kumar), accompanied by officials, visited the site last Saturday and personally inspected the construction of the glass bridge. He said: "The construction of the magnificent glass bridge is in full swing and will be completed by March next year. At the same time, I have asked officials to seek help from specialists to ensure the safety of the glass bridge."

        The glass sky bridge is a miracle of architecture and is part of the 500-acre nature wildlife park under development. "I have asked the officials to develop in this way, so that tourists who come here can feel everything." According to the officials, tourists who come here can also archery, ride, hike, tree houses, wooden houses, and medical parks. With the help of ropes, the sky bike is another highlight here.

   According to reports, technically speaking, this is the second glass bridge in India; but in fact, such a glass bridge is still the first. The first proposed by Rishikesh in Uttarakhand region has not yet been completed. In February of this year, Uttarakhand announced that it would replace the iconic Lakshman Cable Bridge built in 1923 with a glass bridge because it is not suitable for tourists. According to the design of the Works Department, the total length and width of the new bridge are 132.2 meters and 8 meters respectively, and the width of the glass floor is 1.5 meters. However, construction of this bridge has not yet begun.
