The 72m long bridge supports a single-line railway track with a walkway on one side. Constructed in reinforced concrete, the bridge crosses a 36m wide nullah. The superstructure for the main span consists of a stiffened arch bridge spanning 36m. The span configuration of 6m + 8m + 36m (arch) + 2 x 8m + 6m yields a total length of 72m.  The deck consists of a continuous reinforced concrete flat beam supported on slender piers. Monolithic construction ensured maintenance-free slender construction. The arch and piers rest on open foundations.
