The steel road bridge of the original shape is suspended on an 84.6 m high pylon with a characteristic object, in the shape of a flying saucer, on its top. The SNP bridge spans the Danube with a length of 431 m and a width of 21 m. It connects the Bratislava housing estate Petržalka with the Old Town.

Due to its shape and span of steel construction, the Slovak National Uprising Bridge is a unique European bridge. At its peak, at a height of 95 m, there is a beautiful view and at a height of 85 m a restaurant. Visitors can easily get there by an elevator hidden in one of the pylon arms. In the second arm, there is an emergency staircase with 430 steps.
