India's largest cantilever glass bridge is all set to be a key tourist attraction at the Wagamon hill station in Idukki. The bridge, set up at Adventure Park at Kolahalamedu, near Wagamon, will be opened to tourists soon, according to officials.
The structure has been built on a public-private partnership (PPP) model by the Idukki District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) in association with Bharat Mata Ventures Private Limited.
"The construction of the cantilever glass bridge has been completed," said Idukki DTPC secretary Jitheesh Jose. "The entry fee for visitors will be fixed soon. The DTPC will receive 30% of the revenue share in the project," he said.
Bharat Mata Ventures managing director Jomy Poonoly said the glass bridge is 120 ft long and 150 ft tall. "A total of 35 tonnes of steel was used for the construction of the bridge at a cost of ₹3 crore," said Mr. Poonoly.
