A total of 220 people worked to pour 30,000 cubic yards (23,000 m3) of concrete and fabricate 3,100 tons of steel.

The piers are supported by timber pilings driven to a depth of about 70 feet (21 m) below sea level.

The two-lane road is 27 feet (8.2 m) wide, running inside the arches with two 3.5-foot (1.1 m) sidewalks.

Overall length of the bridge is 3,260 feet (990 m), including concrete deck-girder approach spans.

Pedestals were provided for proposed sculptures of seals, but the statues were never executed.
