The glass bridge spans 77 metres (252 feet) in length and 10 metres in width, connecting two of the region's most iconic landmarks — the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the 133-foot tall Thiruvalluvar statue.
It offers visitors an immersive experience, providing unobstructed views of the sea and the surrounding landscape. Apart from improving the visual appeal of the area, it also provides a more accessible and scenic route between these two monuments.
Earlier, tourists had to rely on a ferry service to travel from the Kanyakumari boat jetty to the Vivekananda Memorial, and then on to the Thiruvalluvar statue.
With the inauguration of the glass bridge, visitors can now take a leisurely walk between the two monuments, cutting down on travel time and offering a more comfortable alternative.
