Geležinis Vilkas Bridge, Transport bridge in central Vilnius, Lithuania
The reinforced concrete structure extends 260 meters across the Neris River, with a width of 37 meters and an elevation of 12 meters.
The bridge opened in November 1979 under Soviet administration and specialists from the Leningrad Institute designed the construction plans for this infrastructure.
The name Geležinis Vilkas translates to Iron Wolf, referring to a central figure in Lithuanian mythology and national identity.
The bridge serves as a primary crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians, connecting different sections of Vilnius through multiple traffic lanes.
From 1979 to 1989, authorities designated this crossing as the Soviet Bridge before changing its name to reflect Lithuanian heritage.
