I would say wow, but one size doesn't fit all situations. The picture illustrates a quick and dirty solution. The challenge is finding an eloquent solution.

There are still a lot of things to consider, even on a tight budget. Eight inch steps get people up and down fast, but they will be seen as steps. Six inch steps are easier to act on but would extend the bridge by two feet.

If the bridge is set on a diagonal, I would replace the steps with ramps. The railing detail could make or break the illusion.
