Pedestrian Bridge

The Osijek pedestrian bridge was worked in 1980 and named the Bridge of Youth. It is situated on the site of the previous scaffold worked by Suleiman the Magnificent. This 35 meter high and 200 meter long extension is the main walker connect in Osijek. Like on numerous different celebrated scaffolds couples bolt locks on the Bridge of Youth and toss the keys in the Drava, trusting that their affection will be endless. Amid the Homeland War the bridge was severely destroyed, however never wrecked. It was revamped in 1993 and 2007. Amid the last redesign, the lighting was repaired, the fence was re-painted and new black-top was set. The extension has turned into an image of the city of Osijek, and it looks like numerous European bridges and structures.
