The bridge deck system is composed of 3 layers of 40 mm thick glass - a glass panel, if broken, can still withstand a force of 5 tons; the height of the bridge deck from the ground is 150 m. The glass has been tested by trucks passing through; after being installed on the bridge, cars were also tested and it was evaluated as one of the glass bridges with a safety factor many times greater than the actual calculated load capacity.
The bridge will be one-way. Although the bridge can accommodate thousands of people, it will be limited to a maximum of 500 people per visit to ensure maximum safety.
