Geležinis Vilkas Bridge, Transport bridge in central Vilnius, Lithuania
The Geležinis Vilkas Bridge is a reinforced concrete structure that crosses the Neris River and connects different sections of Vilnius. The structure spans 260 meters in length and 37 meters in width, providing space for vehicles and pedestrians.
This bridge opened in November 1979 during the Soviet era, with the design created by specialists from Leningrad Institute. Its construction reflects the infrastructure development of Lithuania during that period.
The name Geležinis Vilkas means Iron Wolf in English, drawing from Lithuanian mythology and representing a powerful symbol of the nation's identity.
The bridge serves as a main crossing for vehicles and pedestrians with multiple traffic lanes on either side. Visitors can cross it at any time, though peak traffic hours occur in the morning and evening periods.
From 1979 to 1989, the bridge was called the Soviet Bridge before being renamed to reflect Lithuanian heritage. This change marked a shift in how the city recognized its cultural identity after independence.
