This paper presents a preliminary design of a footbridge over the River Drava in Osijek. Width of the water obstacle is 195,0 m. The selected solution is cable-stayed reinforced concrete bridge with an eccentric inclined pylon. Graphical drawings of the bridge were made in AutoCad software package and numerical model in the SAP2000 v14.2 software package. Modal analysis and calculation of the section forces was performed on the basis of selected dimensions of certain parts of the bridge structure, the analysis of variable loads according to EN1991-2 and the appropriate combination of loads according to EN1990.
