glass bridge

See-through elevated crossing

A glass bridge is a bridge with a transparent glass floor or walls, allowing views straight down to the ground below.

These structures appear at scenic locations—spanning canyons, cliffs, or tall buildings—designed to create a thrilling sense of exposure: The glass bridge at the Grand Canyon extends seventy feet over the rim.

In the Netflix series *Squid Game*, a glass bridge is a deadly game where contestants must distinguish tempered glass panels from regular ones that shatter underfoot.
