A 55-metre glass skywalk at Kailasagiri in Visakhapatnam was recently opened to the public, marking a new addition to the city’s tourism attractions. The structure was inaugurated by Visakhapatnam MP M. Sribharat in the presence of VMRDA Chairperson M.V. Pranav Gopal and MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna.

Developed by VMRDA for Rs 7 crore, the cantilevered walkway is built with 40 mm toughened German glass and offers visitors an elevated experience overlooking the Bay of Bengal and the Eastern Ghats. The bridge stands 1,020 feet above sea level and is designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 250 kmph.

Constructed by Sai Moksha Shipping & Logistics and RJ Adventures, the skywalk comprises a 35-metre overhang and a 20-metre ground-supported length, with a width of three metres and stainless-steel railings on both sides. Although it can accommodate 100 people, only 40 visitors are allowed per batch for safety and comfort.

Officials said the transparent walkway is expected to become a major attraction for adventure seekers while offering families a serene vantage point over the city’s skyline and natural surroundings.
