On the South Denes side the lifting bridge, which will stand around 7m tall, will connect with the existing road network.
Mr Mulholland said the most challenging section would be when it came to working in the river.
The bridge itself is being built in two halves in Belgium and will be floated over by barge.
Installing it will mean completely closing the river to traffic for 72 hours and timing the operation almost to the second.

Work on a third bridge across the River Yare in Great Yarmouth is due to begin next month - bringing some temporary traffic measures to the town.
Last month, the government approved funding worth £98m for the long-awaited Third River Crossing linking the A47 at Harfrey’s roundabout to the port and the enterprise zone on the other side of the river.
It is hoped the bridge will support economic opportunities in the wider borough as well as ease congestion in the town.
