The bridge has two spans of 33 m each and a total length of 68 m. On either side, there are two strands of wrought iron eyebars, originally supported by three wooden towers standing on the banks of the river and on the small island, and anchored in solid masonry blocks on either side.

The wooden deck was suspended from the chains by hangers, also of wrought iron.

Eventually, in 1927 a police ordinance was issued in order to stop such dangerous actions.

In the Nazi era, the official opinion was to remove it altogether, which was only prevented by the outbreak of war in 1939.

The renewed wooden deck was stiffened by integrating a flat steel box girder into it, which is hardly visible.
