It was designed by Peter Wyss[1] as a curved walkway to maximise the viewing experience, providing shifting perspective as a visitor walks along the bridge.

The walkway, formed of steel and concrete panels set on top of an inverted triangular truss, connects two hilltops at Gunung Mat Chinchang.

It is tilted from the vertical, at angles of 12° and 2° in two planes, and stabilized by two main back-stay cables, anchored into opposite hillsides.

The two ends of the curved bridge deck are connected to two triangular viewing platforms on opposite hilltops.

Helicopters were also used in the erection of the two triangular end platforms, the pylon, and the initial central segment of the deck.

[8] The SkyGlide cabin can accommodate 12 passengers or 1,050 kg (2,310 lb) load per trip, and the ride lasts about two minutes.

[5] A cheaper alternative to the SkyGlide is for visitors to walk 10–20 minutes along a steep and less secure mountain track between the Top Station and the Sky Bridge.
