The world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge opened in Sochi National Park, Russia. It's not really meant to serve your daily commute, though - the bridge is part of the Sochi Skypark. The 439-meters-long bridge was built over a 218 meters chasm and it attracts bungee jumpers and sightseers alike. The Sochi Skypark Bridge was developed in collaboration with New Zealand, and it took 5 years, 740 tons of metal and 2,000 cubic meters of concrete to construct. The bridge and the bungee platform are suspended by 8 cables - each of which is rated to hold 300 tons. Those who have the opportunity to visit Sochi can take a stroll along the huge structure overlooking roads, rivers and mountains 218 meters below. Those that feel more adventurous can get in line for a bungee jumping experience - there are several different points on the bridge from which to jump.

Sochi will be the home for the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. 440 meters long bridge in the new constructed Extreme Park on the road to the mountain resort Krasnaya Polyana will span over the gorge of Mzima River. Besides the bridge the Extreme Park will include a giant swing, two attractions named "Flying fox", restaurant, bar and parking for 300 cars. The entertainment complex is planned to be commissioned at the end of this year. Attractions like this are already successfully operating in Germany, France, China, Australia and Singapore.
