The current bridge was inaugurated in 1938 and replaced an earlier bridge from 1879. It has a length of 403 metres (1, 322 ft) and is a bascule bridge of steel truss design with nine spans. The bridge carries a single railway track which has a maximum authorized speed of 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph).
