The pylon heights above the sea level differ from 75.4 m to 90.8 m. The bridge is founded deeply on driven steel piles of diameter 2.0 m, length from 55 m to 125 m. The central part of the bridge will be constructed by balanced cantilever construction method and approach parts will be constructed by incremental launching method. The average sea depth in bay is app. 27 m. Dimensions of navigation channel in central span are 250 m x 55 m.
