The footbridge is a 36 m long simple suspension bridge in one span with free width 1.9m. The deck of the bridge follows the catenary shape of the loadbearing cables. To emphasize the lightness of the structure and a transparent view, the railing includes stainless-steel net.
The bridge is built in galvanized steel.
