The bridge is made up of a single span arch bridge. Although the span is quite short the drop below the bridge is quite large.
For most of the year the river runs dry, but Soller is in a natural bowl with steep mountains around it.
From time to time heavy rain in the area can lead to flash floods as all the rain runs off the nearby mountains. All the bridges round here tend to have high arches to cope with this problem.
The road on the bridge is unnamed and connects Carrer de la Victoria 11 de Maig with Carrer de sa Romaguera on either side of the bridge.
