16 escaleras mecánicas, siete ascensores para Indian Holy Site Skywalk

Dieciséis escaleras mecánicas y siete ascensores forman parte de una pasarela elevada de 460 m planificada en las afueras de Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib en Amritsar, en el estado noroccidental indio de Punjab. La Tribune reports. Amritsar Smart City officials aim to upgrade infrastructure near Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib, a holy site that has a daily footfall of up to 50,000 pilgrims, to position Amritsar as a "World Class Tourism Destination." Currently, visitors to the gurdwara — a place of assembly for Sikhs — must cross a road, resulting in minor accidents and traffic congestion. In addition to the vertical-transportation equipment, the Rs 63-crore (US$7.9 million) skywalk will have restrooms, a visitor information center and police posts. Four companies have expressed interest in building the skywalk, and officials are proceeding with the bid process.
