A daring and unique glass-bottom walkway is being built over the Grand Canyon that will allow people to walk 70 feet out over the Canyon and look 4000 ft down to the Colorado River. Built with more than a million pounds of steel beams, it includes dampeners that minimize the structure's vibration. The Skywalk will be able to hold 70 tons of weight, allowing for 800 people weighing 175 lbs. each to stand on the bridge. The allowed capacity will be limited to only 120 persons.
Aberfoyle was involved in the blasting and coating of some of the steel that is being used to construct the remarkable walkway.
