The bridge has two asymmetrically inclined pylons and a unique horizontally curved doubledeck. The use of an inclined pylon form and a high deck bending stiffness, which is different from classic cable-stayed bridge design, was questioned but it was concluded that it showed the same mechanical behavior as a classic cable-stayed bridge.
