The bridge deck is 20 meters wide. A 4-meter strip of this has been laid out as a sidewalk on both sides. Pedestrians can pass the bridge when open. Fold-out steps are available for this. The bridge deck was prepared for a tram connection. However, this part of the Meent has never been constructed. The width for passage is only 6 meters. The height under the bridge deck is 1.80 meters. At the corners are the lifting towers of about 8 meters high. This contains the counterweights. The intention was that the towers could be built in on the side of Westewagenstraat. However, the pre-war buildings were built around it. Control houses have been built on both sides of the Delftsevaart quay.
