The bridge consists of two freestanding Hamei piers (Amsterdam type). This type was used after 1900 because the bridge’s width had to be increased to accommodate motor traffic. What makes this bridge special are the truss-style piers and the attached control room, which are rare in the province of Groningen. According to a sign in the control room, the bridge was ‘refurbished and preserved in September 1971’. In 1981, the bridge was taken over by the local council from Unica b.v..
