Visitors walk across a glass-floor suspension bridge in Zhangjiajie in southern China's Hunan Province Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016A glass-bottomed bridge in China that was heralded as a record-breaker when it opened just 13 days ago has closed.
Officials said the government was planning urgent maintenance work in the area and the bridge closed on Friday, with a re-opening time to be announced.
But the US CNN network said a spokesman told them the bridge, spanning a canyon, was "overwhelmed by the volume of visitors".
He said there had been no accidents and the bridge was not cracked or broken.
The 430m-long bridge, which cost $3.4m (£2.6m) to build, connects two mountain cliffs in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province.
It hangs 300m over a canyon said to have inspired the landscapes of the film Avatar.
When it opened, it was said to be the highest and longest glass-bottomed bridge in the world.

CHARLOTTE Crosby is never afraid to wear a daring outfit – but this latest one could be one of her raunchiest to date. The Geordie Shore star, who is 26, turned heads as she strutted to the Playground Club in Liverpool with Love Island stunner Kate Salmon. And while both ladies left little to the imagination, it was Charlotte that definitely displayed a little more than anyone bargained for. Wearing a casual, loose fitting white shirt, Charlotte’s nipple was on full display as she wore nothing but a sheer black bra underneath. Looking like she’d walked straight out of a tanning salon, the bronzed goddess stunned with thigh-high suede boots and a black choker, looking every bit a style sensation for a night on the tiles.

Meanwhile, Katie Salmon stunned in an equally daring white caged mini dress...
