new stairs!

The Fahy bridge is under renovations. The right side has all new decking, and rails, and now they are working on the stairs! I can't wait to use them. The old ones were steep and narrow. Hard to go up. Harder to go down. I'm  not sure if these are going to have a landing, and then go back toward the street, or if it will be one long rise. But look how wide they are.  And look at the size of the deck.

In another interesting note, for walkers anyway, is that the tunnel from Third Street is gone. You'd come down the sidewalk, go thru the tunnel, and then up stairs to go south to north. The entrance and exits are now blocked in with concrete. Now you'll have to cross the ramp to enter the sidewalk. Much like you have to do on the Hill To Hill's new ramp.

I'm guessing that the ones to Sand Island will be similar. I went past there right before Christmas and they were still putting in the pilings.
