Skybridge Petronas Twin Towers, Skybridge in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Skybridge Petronas Twin Towers is a double-deck bridge linking the two Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It sits at levels 41 and 42, about 558 feet (170 meters) above ground, and stretches 190 feet (58 meters) across, weighing 750 metric tonnes.
The bridge was built as part of the Petronas Twin Towers project, designed by César Pelli, and opened in 1994. It was added as a separate structure rather than being fixed to the towers, and it set a record as the highest sky bridge between two buildings.
The bridge offers a close look at the towers' Islamic geometric patterns, with interlocking squares forming eight-pointed stars. From this spot, you can see how the design repeats on both towers and get a feel for the scale of the structures.
The bridge is reached by a lift from the tower lobby, and tickets are limited each day, so it is best to arrive early in the morning. The walkway is indoors and level, making it easy to cross even in the rain or heat.
The bridge is not attached to the towers' main structure, so it does not help stabilize them as many people think. Instead, it serves as an emergency route between the two towers and can sway slightly in strong winds.
