Golden Skybridge Construction

The Golden Skybridge in Golden, British Columbia, was constructed to be Canada's highest suspension bridge, spanning a deep canyon with stunning views of the Rocky and Purcell Mountains.

Construction of the Golden Skybridge


Location & Planning

The bridge was strategically built in the Columbia Valley, just outside Golden, BC.
The project was designed to enhance tourism and outdoor adventure opportunities in the region.
The site was chosen for its dramatic canyon, approximately 130 meters (426 feet) deep.

Bridge Structure & Materials

Two suspension bridges were constructed:
Higher bridge: 130 meters above the canyon.
Lower bridge: 80 meters above the canyon.
The bridges are approximately 150 meters (492 feet) long.
Built with high-strength steel cables and reinforced decking to withstand heavy loads and environmental stressors.
Weather-resistant materials were used to ensure durability in extreme mountain conditions.

Golden Skybridge Engineering & Safety

Extensive geological assessments ensured the canyon walls could support the anchoring systems.
Specialized construction crews installed massive anchor points in the rock face.
High-tensile suspension cables were strung across the canyon using helicopters for precision placement.
Safety features include high railings, secure mesh sides, and non-slip walking surfaces.

Additional Features & Infrastructure of the Golden Skybridge

The site includes viewing platforms, walking trails, and adventure activities such as ziplining and a ropes course.
Built as a sustainable tourist attraction, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing visitor experience.
The Golden Skybridge officially opened in June 2021, quickly becoming a major draw for thrill-seekers and nature lovers. Book the Golden Skybridge
