The structure of the overpass is an arc. The span of the reinforced concrete arch is 56 m and the span is 7.325 m (f/l = 1/7.645), which is considered to be a relatively slender structure for this type of structure.
The idea of building a road to cross the ravine was conceived in the 1950s and 1960s, when a small-radius (70-250 m) road with a very steep rise and fall (5-6%) profile was traced around a mill near Lorupe.
