That's the most messed-up thing I've ever seens

Since its a two-stairs-in-one type of thing could they not have built one half accessable and the other straightforward?

I don't know why, maybe its just the angle the photo was taken at but I keep expecting there to be a diver jumping off the top and somersaulting into water below.

Hi
How much did the new bridges cost? In my opinion they are ridiculous.
1.) They are quite slippery when wet
2.) They replaced a concrete (reinforced?) bridge with one made out of steel.
3.) All three new bridges are right beside the sea and they are going to have to constantly repaint them. They are already rusting in places!
4.) Why couldn't they have simply put in two lift shafts and a seperate bridge (like in Glenageary) and raised the height of the old bridges and added in a few more steps either side

I use the station in Blackrock several times a week. I don't have a digital camera so I can't show you pictures of the rust.
