. It is 661 metres (2,168.6 ft) long.
At this location the motorway route follows a horizontal curve of 900 metres (2,952.8 ft) radius. The viaduct is a beam structure across a series of spans averaging 36.1 metres (118.4 ft). The main span is 40 metres (131.2 ft) long. Due to its sheer size, the viaduct was designed in four segments comprising box girders and grillage systems and expansion joints atop three piers and both abutments. The piers comprise a box cross section, with 30 cm thick walls.
. Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the bridge carries substantial tourist traffic to the Adriatic resorts. The traffic count is performed using analysis of motorway toll ticket sales.
