Glass
Walkways seem to be the thing these days.
Probably
explains why one is already in the Tower
Bridge, a 120-year-old crossing over the River Thames, finally decided to have
one installed as declared in the “Glass
Walkway offers breathtaking views from London's Tower Bridge”, published
November 11, 2014 By Barry Neild, CNN.
This
Glass bottom Walkway joins the Grand Canyon and Chicago's Willis Tower in the
US of A.
The
Europeans, not to be outdone, had one installed in the Eiffel Tower in Paris as
reported in “Eiffel
Tower gets dizzying glass floor”, published Mon October 13, 2014 12:55 PM
EDT By Barry Neild, CNN.
At
42 m (138") high and costing some £1 million pounds, it's a dizzying drop
that's not for the faint of heart. A second is to been installed at the East
end of London Bridge by Monday December 1st 2014 and represents the
first structural upgrade to London Bridge since the 80's.
It's
an added attraction for the city of London and is going well for London Bridge,
which on average attracts some 600,000 visitors daily.
Here's
a video showing what it's like to walk on the Glass Walkway of the Tower Bridge.
Monday
December 1st 2014 is only a week away before the next Glass Walkway
is installed on the London Bridge! It'll be interesting to see which
structures, possibly in Saudi Arabia or East Asia i.e. Japan or China, will be next
to incorporate this marvel of architectural wizardry that's not much different
from a Glass Bottom Boat!
