After three-and-a-half months of careful work, the Shark Bridge is opening.

The rope is tied together in a netlike fashion, creating a sturdy barrier between visitors and the sharks. For an alternate view of the exhibit, guests can walk above it on the rope-suspension Shark Bridge. (WPVI) - Starting Friday, you can look at sharks in a whole new way at Adventure Aquarium in Camden. Shark Bridge comprises four tons of steel, 148 bolts, and enough rope to span the length of 68 football fields. "You usually just get to see sharks from a tank," says Doug Hess, the exhibit's lead project manager, "but never from up top like this." The V-shape structure offers bird's-eye views of incredibly large sharks that can appear both scary and majestic. Adventure Aquarium, Camden, New Jersey, earlier known as New Jersey State Aquarium, houses one-of-a-kind exhibits with more than 15,000 aquatic species.

And now they will be able to walk above them. Dare to cross the worlds longest Shark Bridge, a unique V-shaped rope suspension bridge just inches over Shark Realm.
