16 escaliers mécaniques et sept ascenseurs pour le Skywalk du site sacré indien

Seize escaliers mécaniques et sept ascenseurs font partie d'une passerelle de 460 m prévue à l'extérieur de Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib à Amritsar, dans l'État indien du nord-ouest du Pendjab, 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.
