The bridge asphalt concrete pavement on metal slab was laid on the sidewalk. The bridge length and width remained unchanged.

The railings were metal welded ones of a simple pattern.

The bridge was built by efforts of Specialized Installation and Maintenance Directorate under supervision of N.G. Karamyshev. Head V.M. Zaitsev of the Operation Department exercised technical supervision of the work.
