The bridge has been a protected monument since 2001.
The Mexico Bridge is a complex of two identical Scherzer roller bascule bridges with an electric drive. The bridge has a passage width of 21 meters. There is little shipping traffic here, so these bridges are usually open for car and freight traffic.

Mexico bridges, between Kattendijk Dock and Hout Dock, consisting of two electrically powered (2 x 37 kW and diesel drive for emergencies) parallel Scherzer-type roller bascule bridges, sometimes incorrectly called cradle bridges. The eastern bridge was completed in 1936, the western in 1941 (see also Oosterweel Bridge), restored in 1979 and 1982 respectively. Designation 1873-1935: bridge C, then hydraulic swing bridge (like Kempische Bridge). The current model was never rebuilt because wind pressure causes asymmetric wear on the rack and pinion during opening and closing—which therefore requires regular rewelding—causing the train tracks to drift out of their proper position.
