Commenting on the rationale behind the user fee, Executive Engineer Praveen Karnwal told ANI: "Work on Bajrang Setu is complete. Administration has put an SOP in place for walking on the glass footpath on both sides and how will safety be maintained. So, a tender has been invited under which a charge of Rs 100 per person for 2 hours and Rs 50 for children will be levied. The charges are in place to see that about 48 people will be needed for convenience and safety of people. They will work in 3 shifts... Movement of people on the footpath will be allowed between 6 am to 10 pm. The middle portion made of concrete will be accessible round the clock free of cost."
Engineering and Design of Bajrang Setu
Promoted as India's first glass-floored cable suspension bridge, Bajrang Setu was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 60 to 70 crore. The structure spans 132 metres in length and 8 metres in width. The design incorporates a 5-metre-wide central steel deck intended for two-wheeler traffic, flanked by transparent glass walkways on either side to provide unobstructed views of the river below. To ensure structural integrity and visitor safety, the skywalk has been engineered using multiple layers of 12 mm-thick tempered glass.
