A unique use of saving, but technically very demanding Vierendeelova beam at the top of the arc and spatially very impressive cross bracing, formed of three triple horizontal member above the other, interleaved by vertical medial member. Height of the bridge is 6.25 meters, the lower deck is 55.8 meters long and the bridge is 6.25 meters wide. In the years 2003-2004 underwent extensive reconstruction and get not only representative facade, but also a new function. Now serves only as a spa promenade and cycle track, no motor vehicle.
