Abstract:	The paper presents design evolution of the footbridge, from architectural form through basic design to finally built structure. The footbridge over the Vistula River just built in Cracow, was selected by the City Authorities as a result of international competition. The winning project was destined to execution. During the early constructing stage many changes were implemented to the basic design. Predictable dynamic behaviour of the superstructure was one of the major targets in this stage. Assumptions, structural changes and numerical simulations performed by the designing team are presented here. Finally, a dynamic test was carried out to verify the assumptions. Theoretical base, methodology and final conclusions are included.
