We were there Sunday evening and the fences were still there CLOSED! How did the ANFVB get pictures with people on the NEW Skywalk?

Part of their job is to promote tourism in the area so I'm assuming that's why they were allowed in.

Hi, we received special permission from the construction foreman to get the picture for promotional reasons - we wanted actual pictures to put in our fall advertising. The people were not ones who were already there, but "models" we arranged to have there so there were people (other than construction workers) on the sky walk.

Now that construction is done, things will move quickly. Hope that answers your question!! If you are local, check back soon and I am sure you will be able to get on the Sky Walk.
