It is the ninth bridge crossing the river in Warsaw, and the longest and most southern.

[2] The bridge consists of two independent structures running parallel, each carrying four traffic lanes and a separated pedestrian and cycling path.

[3] The western part of the bridge was constructed using the incremental launching method, the part in the river using the balanced cantilever method and the eastern one using a movable scaffolding system.

In numerous planning studies and documents the bridge was referred to with a generic name as the Southern Bridge (Polish: Most Południowy), which was also commonly treated as its name after completion.

In August 2021, the bridge was named in honor Polish queen Anna Jagiellon.
