Associates Times reports about the world’s longest cable car ( surpassing ‘Ba Na Big’ with 5.8 km in length) set to be built in The Commonwealth of Dominica. The cable car project will provide a safe and quick passage to the Boiling Lake, which would otherwise take 6 hours to get to.

The cable car will also be proven to be an environmentally friendly way to commute people to the Boiling Lake while giving scenic views of nature. The project would cost around $275 million dollars.
