India's First Glass Bridge in Kanyakumari Built By VME Precast Products
77-Metre-Long Marvel: Tamil Nadu's First Glass Bridge
Kanyakumari has added a stunning new landmark to its coastal beauty - India’s first glass bridge, connecting the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the towering Thiruvalluvar Statue. This state-of-the-art project was constructed entirely using VME Precast Products, showcasing the company’s expertise in delivering durable, innovative, and aesthetic infrastructure solutions.
A Blend of Engineering and Elegance
The bridge, spanning 77 meters in length and 10 meters in width, offers a transparent glass walkway, providing breathtaking views of the sea below. Constructed with precision and designed to withstand the challenging marine environment, this architectural marvel combines beauty and durability.
The project, commissioned by the Tamil Nadu government at a cost of ₹37 crore, was inaugurated on December 30, 2024, by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. Marking the silver jubilee of the unveiling of the Thiruvalluvar Statue, the bridge now serves as a seamless connection between two of Kanyakumari's most iconic attractions.
Features That Amaze
Durable Design: The bridge features corrosion-resistant materials tailored to endure the salty sea air and high humidity of the region.
Scenic Experience: With its bowstring-arch design and transparent glass surface, the bridge offers visitors an unforgettable visual experience.
Accessibility: Replacing the reliance on ferries, the bridge provides a convenient and scenic route between the two monuments.
