They point out the largest one in the US is the Gatlinburg SkyBridge https://www.gatlinburgskylift.com/skybridge https://www.gatlinburgskylift.com/skybridge and it looks like Eagle Canyon is the largest in Canada https://www.eaglecanyonadventures.ca/suspension-bridges/ https://www.eaglecanyonadventures.ca/suspension-bridges/
- owenversteeg 5y agoKind of sad that both of those bridges, as well as this new bridge, are all paid access. Walking on a bridge is one of those things you just take for granted as being free, I guess, until it isn't. Thankfully, the former world's longest pedestrian bridge, the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge in Switzerland, is totally free. It's not like these bridges are particularly expensive, either. The former longest in Switzerland cost only 720k euros to build, and that was constructed in the Alps by a Swiss company with expensive Swiss labor (I seem to recall they have the highest minimum wage in the world.) Seems like an excellent and cheap thing to build if you're a town looking to boost tourism.
