It is a metal bridge, 25.9 meters (85 ft) long which crosses over the Culebrinas River. The bridge rails are built in a warren truss style with steel posts.
Because the bridge was used for the transport of sugarcane, it was built large enough for truck access. It was built by the Central Coloso, a sugarcane mill for its railway transport system of sugarcane harvest. The bridge allowed access to nearby Guanábano and Espinar barrios in Aguada, and Pueblo in Moca.
