Saturday, October 31, 2009 VIENNA: This breathtaking new bridge linking two mountains in the Austrian Alps isn't for the faint-hearted.Engineers have constructed a transparent mesh floor so walkers and skiers can see the valley floor hundreds of feet beneath them.The 462-feet long bridge - now the highest in Europe - near Bad Gastein in Salzburg will officially open in December after final safety checks.The pathway - just one metre wide - is designed to cope with winter winds of up to 150 mph at the mountain peaks.One local skier told the newspaper: "It's an astonishing piece of engineering but it will take a lot of nerve to walk over it."
