Opened on July 3, 1937, it carries four motor traffic lanes, and a footpath on the western edge. Cyclepaths along both sides of the Parkway connect to the Shore Parkway Greenway and to Flatbush Avenue. The operation of this bridge includes the maintenance of the Marine Parkway from the toll plaza to Jacob Riis Park.

The bridge is designated New York State Reference Route 901B. As of September 15, 2008, the crossing charge for a two-axle passenger vehicle is $2.50, with a $0.95 discount for E-ZPass users.
