KLCC Skybridge is an Impressive Structure
The world is filled with spectacular sites to behold. Mother nature provides for a lot of them. Her wondrous acts never seem to amaze mankind and with good reason. However there are several impressive man made sites to behold in this world that are just as amazing as the ones created by Mother Nature. The KLCC skybridge is one of those sites that never cease to amaze.
The Petronas Twin Towers are located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There were once the tallest buildings in the world. That title now belongs to the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai. However the Petronas Twin Towers still remains the tallest twin buildings in the entire world. The Kuala Lumpur city Centre Skybridge is suspended between these two enormous towers.
The bridge is located on the 41st and the 42nd floors however only the public can access it from the 41st floor since the 42nd floor is reserved for use by tenants of the Petronas Towers only. The KLCC Skybridge has a safety feature that allows it to retract into either of the towers in the case of high winds or in the case of an emergency evacuation from one building. Visitors can visit the landmark for free but must first obtain a ticket that is issued on a first-come first-serve basis. There are a limited number of tickets that are available during one day. Only 1700 hundred people per day are allowed to visit the landmark.
It is the tallest two-story bridge in the world at this time. It stands an impressive 558 feet above the ground and is 190 feet long. The structure weighs a staggering 750 tons and is a true marvel of modern engineering. The next time that you travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia be sure to stop and check it out. The shopping is pretty amazing as well.
