The pedestrian bridge spans the Main-Danube Canal with a curved design supported by two steel tube masts reaching 18 meters in height.

The bridge provides a 3.3-meter-wide walkway with a 61.84-meter span and maintains a navigation clearance of 6.85 meters for vessels.

The structure features 38 suspenders spaced at 2.3-meter intervals, connected to a main cable measuring 90 millimeters in diameter.
