With that pitch, it is not clear how they set the diagonal braces that will support the roadbed. Working from helicopter tethers?

Probably guys on ropes, swung down from the top.
That's how they wash windows, anyhow

Anybody who would work on that road would need some kind of shoulder harness to support his nuts.

With an adequate hand rail, I guess it would be OK for foot traffic. Overweight and oversize loads would make me nervous. Would not want to be the first one on it after a heavy rain.

The fashionable thing nowadays is to make the walkway out of glass, so you can look a thousand feet down to your impending death

I have seen a couple of those on TV. You would not get me on one as I am terrified of heights. I have done a little work on ladders by carrying a c-clamp and rope with me and tying it off the first thing. Still not my favorite thing to do.
Looked to me on the road photo they were pouring a thin concrete surface, as long as they do not make it too thick and take away from their weight capacity it may work.

I think they could poke a piece to twine with a knot in it about an inch up yer ass before they put you over the edge, you would stay puckered enough not to fall

Some prank show replaced a few of those glass panels with large LCD monitors and showed cracks propagating through the "glass" while unsuspecting tourists walked over them. That was hilarious.
