Akkulam glass bridge set to open after safety nod
T'puram: The glass bridge at Akkulam tourist village is set to open to the public, following a positive safety assessment by the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kozhikode. The bridge which has been in the spotlight for its aesthetic appeal and engineering, is now in its final stages before inauguration. An expert team from NIT conducted a detailed evaluation of the bridge's design, materials and structural integrity last month. The team concluded the structure is safe and fit for public use, a significant reassurance after earlier safety concerns about the glass floor. "The bridge has met all required safety standards and we've received confirmation that it is safe for the public," said Binu Kuriakose, an official from the Kerala Adventure Tourism Promotion Society (KATPS). "The govt will now finalise an inauguration date in consultation with senior officials and local representatives," he added. Part of a state initiative to boost tourism infrastructure, the bridge is expected to become a major attraction in Thiruvananthapuram. Spanning 52 metres across the scenic Akkulam backwaters, it offers panoramic views and a unique walking experience. The project was delayed by nearly a year due to design changes and mandatory safety clearances. Cracks found in the 12mm, three-layered glass panels led to a complete replacement and the addition of an extra glass layer based on state committee recommendations. The upgraded bridge now features multiple safety enhancements, along with an LED wall that simulates breaking glass for added thrill. Visitors can also enjoy artificial fog, mist and dynamic lighting effects. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
