A 240-meter-long (787 feet) glass bridge with a "diamond-shaped" bar suspended in the center was unveiled at Dashbashi Canyon, located around two hours drive from capital city Tbilisi, in Southern Georgia earlier this week.
Constructed by investment group Kass Group, which operates in Israel and Georgia, the huge transparent structure, which rises to 280 meters (around 919 feet,) stretches across the natural monument, offering panoramic views of its stunning waterfalls and caves.
Made from steel and glass, it took around three years to construct..

What’s with the guy on the bicycle?
Maximum occupancy is 24 people.
If at any time there are only 12 people, the glass is half full.
Oh, that Georgia.
No, half empty
The other Georgia. The one over in Europe.
That Georgia girl’s always on
My, my, my, my, my, mind...
All the nopes that ever noped in Nopeland.
The views do look spectacular, though.
Drunks in a glass house suspended over a 900 foot deep canyon.
What could possibly go wrong?
Muh nads shrink up just lookin at it. d:^0
Hmm...getting hammered and riding a bicycle over a 900 foot canyon. Oh hell no.
Or half empty.
:-)
The glass is twice as large as it needs to be.
It’s on the southern face of the Caucasus, so Asia.
Have they had their first jumper yet?
Seems inevitable.
I'd be interested. Not traveling to Russia for this, though. I can visit 'The Infinity Room' at The House on the Rock, which is less than an hour away from me.
Behold! It’s n engineering masterpiece, but I have Zee-Row intention of ever walking upon that see through surface.
Zee-Row!! The very idea is breathtaking.
The glass bridge did not rise, it spans a 280 meter deep canyon.
A causeway bridge will rise but not this one.
No.1. A guy on a bicycle doing what appears to be a tightrope act and the reporter doesn’t even mention it?!
No 2. How the heck did they build this thing?!
No 3. Name of canyon is ‘ Dashbashi Canyon’.
Would be very easy for someone to dash from the bar after a few drinks, jump over the rail and then bash!
