Langkawi Sky Bridge

Langkawi Sky Bridge

Completed in 2004, this suspended bridge is built on top of the Gunung Mat Cincang. Accessible from the Top Station, the bridge is suspended from a 82 m high single pylon, hangs at about 100 m above ground and it can accommodate up to 250 people at the same time.

It swings out over the landscape to give visitors a unique spatial experience, and to bring them into otherwise unattainable locations, above virgin jungle with spectacular views.

Notably, in contrast to a straight bridge, where the end is always monotonously in sight, a curved bridge offers spectacularly changing perspective that reinvent themselves, as one proceeds along it.

Measuring at 125 m in length, the structure ranks among the world’s longest curve suspension bridge and constructing it was not an easy feat as the solutions had to factor the following critical elements; structural balancing from a single point (top of the pylon), optimal weight management and load distribution, pre-fabrication of bridge and on site installation.

The entire bridge, in all its elements had to be lifted to the top of the mountain by helicopter and was later assembled to its current position.
