Kolkata to have world's longest skywalk by 2019

Kolkata: Kolkata-based realtor Siddha Group on Monday said it was developing the world's longest skywalk stretching across 550 metres and integrated in its housing project here.

"The skywalk - which will be ready by 2019 - is estimated to be constructed at a cost of Rs.20 crore. It has 1.1 km of jogger's track on the 14th floor which makes it the world's longest such track at the highest level," company managing director Sanjay Jain told media persons here.

The skywalk - christened Starwalk - is located in phase II of Galaxia - a housing project in Rajarhat lying on the city's northeastern fringes.
