Design and layout: The bridge is 125 meters long, and 1.8 meters wide (the middle section has a wider walkway), with two steel railings as well as steel wire mesh on either side. It is designed as a curved walkway to maximise the viewing experience, providing shifting perspective as a visitor walks along the bridge. The walkway, formed of steel and concrete panels set on top of an inverted triangular truss, connects two hilltops at Gunung Mat Chinchang.

The skywalk is made up of five sections each of twenty five metres – the first and last are straight with three sets of curves in the middle. At each end of the walkway, the bridge has a three point six metre-wide triangular viewing platform that serves as resting and viewing areas for visitors. The bridge is suspended by eight cables from an eighty one and a half metre high single pylon, and hangs at about a hundred metres above ground. The pylon is anchored onto a concreted pad set at an elevation of 604.5 metres, and its tip reached 686 metres above sea level. It is inclined at angles of 78 degrees and 2 degrees in two directions, and supported by two cables. The bridge is designed to carry a maximum capacity of 200 persons. 

Looking over

Construction: The bridge was pre-fabricated, and sections were then lifted to the top of the mountain using Russian Kamov helicopters, and the entire bridge assembled in its current position by the pylon. Helicopters were used in the erection of the pylons and the main section of the deck, later decks sections however were assembled using more conventional working cable and winch system. The bridge roughly cost $1.2 million dollars to construct. The bridge was constructed in 12 months between August 2003 and August 2004. It was opened to the public on February 2005. The bridge was closed in July 2012 for maintenance and upgrading. The reopening was put off several times, but it partially reopened in February 2015.

We finally got ‘the rogues’ to pose on the glass viewing pane.
