- The bike+pedestrian path is suspended over the roadway.
- There are some suspension cables leading from the suspended pedestrian path, and trusses leading to the other cables.
- The cables are pretty thick and have railing-like cables, likely for maintenance.
- There is only a small metal door preventing people from running all the way up the cables. The railing-like cables look useful for climbing over the door.
It's possible that with the right skills, nothing is necessary but the new flag and tins, a plan, and a little luck.

- waterlesscloud 12y agoBehind the scenes video of a movie shooting a walk up the cables. Even with permits and DOT assistance, the SWAT team came out after them and halted traffic on the bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4gVfJpUKU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4gVfJpUKU
