It carries four lanes of Autoroute 20. The first span was built in 1924, a girder bridge that was replaced in 1991 by another structure of the same type, using the same foundations. It was doubled in 1964 with a cable-stayed bridge, which carried the eastbound lanes of Autoroute 20 until its demolition early in 2008 [cite news

A replacement for the eastbound span is currently under construction.
