1. A system for supporting a walkway, the system comprising:
a raised elongated walkway platform having a first end and a second end and a length;
the platform supported from below at the first end of the platform by a first outwardly-extending upper shelf presented from a top portion of a first supporting member and at a second location underneath the platform by a second upper shelf presented by a top portion of a second supporting member, the platform being supported by the first and second outwardly-extending upper shelves and thus positioning an upper surface of the platform to be level with at least one walking surface on an adjacent structure;
each of the first and second supporting members having bottom portions presenting outwardly-extending lower shelves, each of the lower shelves supporting a truss arrangement which is spaced apart from and supported underneath the platform, the truss arrangement configured to create stability in a horizontal dimension against sway, each of the first and second supporting members oriented to be crosswise with respect to the length of the elongated walkway platform; and
a plurality of spaced-apart posts lining laterally-opposing sides of the platform, each post supporting a top rail, and being received through openings at corner edges of the upper shelf and resting on the lower shelves of the first and second platform supporting members.
