The prestressed concrete construction , inaugurated on December 6, 1977, has a curved floor plan and, as a structural system, has the continuous beam in the longitudinal direction . The span for the seven-span road bridge is 37.0 m + 62.0 m + 3 × 55.0 m + 70.0 m + 47.0 m, which results in a total span of 381.0 m. In the transverse direction, the 17.2 m wide superstructure consists of two single-cell box girder cross-sections that are connected to one another by the deck slab. The construction height is a constant 2.5 m. The prestressing consists of internal tendons in the longitudinal and transverse directions .
