The bridge has 7 arches of different height and width, its length is 220 m, width is 30 m. Its unique technology made it possible to survive numerous floods. The bridge is equipped with breakwaters and drainage systems to preserve the structure. In one of the round holes, a sculpture of a humanoid creature of bright red color is visible. After the reconstruction carried out in 1993, the arches were equipped with thousands of lamps that beautifully illuminate the bridge in the evening.
