Forming part of a larger rehabilitation scheme, a simple, uncovered pedestrian link was created between two districts on opposite sides of the harbour. The opening section of this pier-like structure consists of a three-bay bascule bridge 5 m wide and spanning a distance of 25.5 m. In a retracted position, the bridge allows a 22-metre-wide passage for shipping. In a lowered position, the structure corresponds to a classical mono-directional cable-stayed bridge with movable portal masts. To avoid uncontrolled increases in the cable loading, geometric inaccuracies had to be reduced to a minimum.
