To the north, the bridge ends at the Roundabout of Europe, one of the largest in the city, while to the south it intersects the Saler motorway.

Both bridge segments consist of two separate roadways, each with four lanes for vehicular traffic as well as a wide sidewalk for bicycles and pedestrians.

[5] Each roadway is supported by a series of dual vertical rectangular columns, in between which are smooth haunches in gray concrete with the corners and other trim details painted distinctively in brown.

Made of white shiny concrete, it contains hardly any straight line, mainly swooping curves, which give it an organic leaping quality when view on the riverbed level.

It was a gift from the architect Calatrava to the city of Valencia, to mark the spot where Pope Benedict XVI conducted Mass on 9 July 2006.
