The structure functions more as a high-quality continuation of the urban space than a specifically infrastructural object. The bridge is simple, slender and transparent and consists of two super-sized trough girders with a middle section in between. Part of its straightforwardness is that it does not span all more than 300 meters in one go, but it is supported at every train platform by a pylon, with an unaffected stability structure.
