This is built as a steel framed, Rigid Frame, Inclined Leg bridge, with a concrete deck. On each end there are two steel legs that are riveted to the Haunched girders with splice plates. Very similar design to the road bridge that runs 'parallel' on the Princes Highway, that was built in 1965. Unknown date for the construction of this Footbridge.

Pedestrians, cyclists, and horses are permitted on this hiking bridge, as it is a part of the East Gippsland Rail Trail.

The bridge is 70 FEET long and not metres.
