The height of the towers is measured to the top of their structural components such as spires, but do not include antennas. Without the pinnacle, the towers measure 378 meter (1,240 feet).The skybridge lies between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors,the bridge is 170 m above the ground, 58 m long and weighs 750 tons. The same floor is also called Podium because the visitors, wishing to go to the higher levels, have to change elevators here. It is open to all visitors, though entry is limited to 1700 people per day.
