The viaduct has a length of approx. 80 meters with 4 arches which each have a clear width of 16 meters. The height is about 28 meters. The viaduct is at a slope of 1:40 and in an arch.

After 40 years of operation, the structure was blown up by German troops in the late afternoon of March 16, 1945. Traffic in this section has been idle for over 5 years. The destruction was almost complete. The viaduct was rebuilt in concrete between 1948 and 1950. The concrete was clad with rubble stone.
