The superstructure consists of prefabricated reinforced concrete I-section blocks of variable heights. The superstructure facades are not faced with granite. The bridge abutments are made of monolithic reinforced concrete on pile foundation.

There is an asphaltic concrete pavement on the roadway over the concrete plate included in the operation of the main beams. Sand asphalt is laid on the sidewalks. The sidewalk is separated from the roadway with granite curb.

There is railing combined of cast iron sections and metal inserts on the bridge. Granite pedestals are installed at the ends of railing.
