It consists of a 180-metre-long multi-part steel-supported section, followed by a 118-metre-long brick section, with a total length of 308 metres. It crosses the Chemnitz river on six steel trusses, each 25.5 metres-long. The bridge consisted of nine brick arch spans, with the one at the crossing of federal road 107 having an opening of 11.7 metres and the other eight spans having openings with a width of 9.8 metres. This section lies on a slight curve. Due to the noise of the steel section during train crossings, it was also popularly given the name of "Klapperbrücke" (rattling bridge). This bridge section was renovated in 2003 for €1.5 million.
