The history of bridge construction has been analyzed. It is revealed that the bionic approach allows to design bridges to the greatest extent harmoniously forming a cultural landscape, public areas of the city and dynamically developing coastline in order to provide a comfortable living space sphere. This is due to the fact that architectural bionics is the direction that allows to borrow the architectural lines and volumes from nature, to create an object that most organically fits into the natural city environment. Some methodological approaches to the bionic engineering structures design and the possibility of their use in the formation of bridge structures in the modern city structure are highlighted. Some solutions of bridge structures elements, which, when used as components of bionic bridges are proposed. They will improve their efficiency from an engineering point of view.
