Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon .

The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles.

More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon SkyWalk.
