It extends for a length of 33 meters and performs the crucial function of bridging a 1.83-meter drop. The water flow is managed by a concrete service channel, regulated both upstream and downstream by four iron gates. These are electrically operated via a small dedicated control cabin. The heart of the system consists of two metal "Vinci" gates, which are opened and closed by cable winches positioned along the towpath. A reinforced concrete walkway crosses the basin, enhancing its architectural profile, although it is no longer accessible to traffic. The surrounding area is also a major hydraulic hub: the underpass structures for the Trobbia stream are located here. Once past the canal, the stream's waters continue southward, feeding the local irrigation system through the Trobbia, Visconti, and Orobona irrigation ditches.
