Switzerland has opened the world's longest suspension footbridge(悬索桥). It is 494 meters long. The bridge is suspended between 1,600 meters and 2,200 meters above sea level. It is only 65 centimeters wide and goes as high as 85 meters above the ground.
Hikers, within sight of the famous mountain, the Matterhorn, and the Bernese Alps, can cross it in about 10 minutes. The bridge crosses the deepest-cut valley in Switzerland. Hikers can look down onto it through grates in the bridge. Without the bridge, the journey took up to four hours before.
According to Swiss reports, it took only 10 weeks to build the bridge. And the structure surpasses(超越) Germany’s “Titan-RT” as the world’s longest suspension footbridge. The "Titan-RT", which opened last month, is just over 450 meters long. It crosses Germany's highest reservoir, the Rappbode Dam.
The Swiss bridge is also longer than the so-called "footbridge in the sky". The footbridge in the sky was built in 2014, and is part of the Sochi Sky Park in Russia. It is 439 meters long and includes observation platforms looking on the mountains and the Black Sea Coast.
