KL: Did you know? II
Did you know that on 8 August 1995, the lifting of skybridge was halted for few hours due to bad weather condition? The storm struck in the evening and the wind was so strong that the engineers worried the lifting cables would sway and snap in the wind.
It was lifted to its final position at the 41st and 42nd levels of the PETRONAS Twin TowersΓΒ on 9 August 1995 after grueling 32 hours.
The skybridge was not part of the KLCC initial design. It was added later to facilitate an escape route between the Petronas Twin Towers.

I actually walked across that bridge with a colleague while it was in the midst of construction cos we had to send some stuff there for an architect that we were dealing with. Scary like hell crossing that bridge half completed …

Thanks for sharing. I wonder how high were the cranes required to lift the sky bridge up.
