The majority of the bridge would be dedicated to the exhibition section, which would include both temporary and permanent exhibition types. This would encourage people to visit and pass the bridge on different occasions while the presented arts being kept interesting and diverse. There would be two studios, one educational and one for community work purposes to get people engaged with art.

Additionally, the bridge would provide many spaces for seating and letting visitors enjoy the art and the surrounding landscape.
