[1] The bridge was designed by Marjan Pipenbaher from the Slovenian company Ponting Bridges and Mladen Ulićević, a professor at Faculty of Civil Engineering in Podgorica.

It was built by the Slovenian company Primorje, and opened on 13 July 2005, Montenegro's National Day.

Twelve cables support the roadway deck, while twenty-four more are attached to the counterweights, creating an imposing image.

The construction of the bridge began in 2005, and the building cost was approximately 7 million euros.

The roadway carries two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway in each direction.
