The bridge is composed of three individual decks that open and close asynchronously, mimicking the motion of playing fingers. It connects a new housing development to the main road within the flat polder landscape. The decks are divided into two pedestrian and cycle routes and one car lane, improving traffic safety.

The finger-like design also creates additional mooring space for boats, while a cycle path runs beneath the bridge along the waterfront. The bridge is operated from the bridge master’s house, an elevated structure 8 metres above the water. Perforated steel plates applied to its concrete core give the building a semi-transparent appearance.
