Fairly narrow road in good condition (except towards the end for a very short section of dirt and stones overhanging a landslide that cut the road).
As is often the case with these routes from the Belledonne balcony, it is very irregular, with sections that are veritable "walls".
The bridge that gives the slope its name marks the end (the tarmac ends a few dozen metres further on, at a place called "Le Chenevrey") and overlooks the Vorz torrent, which is very active when the snow melts, and which the slope climbs all the way up.
Route assez étroite en bon état (sauf vers la fin une très courte portion en terre et cailloux qui surplombe un glissement de terrain ayant coupé la route).
Comme souvent dans ces routes qui partent du balcon. de Belledonne, elle est très irrégulière avec des portions qui sont de véritables « murs ».
Le pont qui donne son nom à la côte en marque la fin (le goudron s'arrête quelques dizaines de mètres plus loin, au lieu-dit « Le Chenevrey ») et surplombe le torrent du Vorz, très actif à la fonte des neiges, et que la côte remonte pendant tout son trajet.
