However, west of the Oval, the two lanes, the sharp turn from No. 2 Rd., and the sharp S-bend leading beneath the bridge, have a temporary appearance. The underside clearance of 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) is the lowest of any in Richmond. Perhaps the city envisages an overpass at No. 2 Rd. taking River Rd. to a junction with Lynas Lane, thereby transforming the existing foreshore road into a green space.

Richmond, about one metre (3.3 ft) metre above sea level, requires drainage and flood protection for businesses, agriculture and over 200,000 residents. The city manages 49 kilometres (30 mi) of dykes; 39 drainage pump stations with a combined pumping capacity of over one million gallons

During the planning stage, the creation of additional intertidal marsh and riparian woodlands compensated for the project-related impact upon the intertidal basin. Over subsequent decades, the enclosed 3,500-square-metre constructed marsh and adjacent natural marshes, along the southern shoreline,

The city owns and maintains this low-level four-lane bridge, having bicycle lanes and a wide, separated sidewalk. On the north bank, a trail passing beneath the bridge connects the sidewalks. On the south bank, a pedestrian ramp on the west side connects with the dyke trail below. The sequential

development, River Rd., free of interrupting intersections, was a popular thoroughfare. To offset the oval development costs, the city sold 18.6 acres of riverfront land in early 2007 for $ 141m. That year, the city realigned this section of River Rd. away from the foreshore.

The City of
Richmond funded the $ 39m construction using debt, existing reserves, and a $ 5m provincial grant. The scheme was the biggest capital project the city had undertaken to that point. The city paid the final loan installment in 2013. The span connects
