The bridge was designed by the US and completed in 1965. The unusual design of the bridge, particularly the single inclining tower, presented a number of technical challenges. The effective width of the deck is 34.5m, and the cables in the main span are located along the middle line of the bridge. The western abutment is also designed as a ballast load for the heavy 230m-long main span. The bridge will have six lanes for traffic, plus pedestrian sidewalks on both sides.
