Pedestrians as well as cyclists can use the bridge. It has a cycle path and a footpath, distinguished from each other by their coloured surfaces. The cycle path is a brownish yellow or light ochre, and the footpath is anthracite in colour. This distinction ensures a safe and easily legible layout on the bridge. At its highest point, over the highway where cars and trams pass, the deck is almost eight metres above street level. The steps that give access to the bridge at the tram stop match the design and appear transparent. They are also elongated and shallow enough to ensure a comfortable climb to the bridge deck.
Because the bridge is so long and straight, its details, which repeat many times along the length of the bridge, create a fascinating visual effect. The corbelled ribs under the deck, supporting the pedestrian footways, have a fixed rhythm and they flow into the balustrades. The resulting impression is of a regular rhythm that conforms to the fluid line of the bridge deck as it rises, making the bridge seem lighter, floating above the highway and pointing towards the horizon.
