According to the specialist report, the structure of the third bridge is supported by two pylons, through special steel cables arranged symmetrically in a harp design. The cable-stayed assembly, which supports the bridge, has a weight of 216 tons and consists of 56 cables. The cables will support a weight of 12,000 tons. It is a spectacular work that requires a lot of precision and can only be done by a few specialists. The operation will be carried out by the German company DYWIDAG, world leaders in the field. Upon completion, the bridge in Satu Mare will be, in terms of span, the third cable-stayed bridge in Romania.

For access from the embankments to the sidewalks of the bridge, four stairs are planned, with two stairs on each embankment, and for the safety of pedestrian traffic, metal protective barriers will be installed on ramps, viaducts, and the bridge, as well as on the access stairs from the embankments. The bridge over the Someș River - located on Ștrandului Street is a historic investment for Satu Mare, and the Austrian constructor Strabag is mobilizing significant resources to ensure the completion deadline is met.
