The Maribor footbridge is a pedestrian- and cyclist-only bridge in Maribor, Slovenia. It was created by Ja Studio and Tadj-Farzin Studio and is part of the city's attempt to revive the city's riverfront area.
At 150 meters long, the Maribor footbridge is nestled within a historic city district and provides walkers, runners and cyclists with their own exclusive crossing of the Drava river. The undulating structure has a reflective metallic red underside and a crisp white walkway.
