Queen Louise Bridge, Border road bridge between Sovetsk, Russia and Panemune, Lithuania
The Queen Louise Bridge spans 416 meters across the Neman River with seven granite pillars supporting its three-arch structure at the Lithuania-Russia frontier point.
The bridge opened in 1907 to commemorate the centenary of Queen Louise of Prussia's visit to Tilsit, replacing previous wooden and pontoon crossings.
The southern portal features a decorative gateway with two towers, displaying the bronze relief of Queen Louise and municipal regalia of former Tilsit.
The structure includes a lifting mechanism to allow river vessels passage, with a 7.2-meter-wide roadway connecting both border communities.
German forces destroyed the bridge in 1944, leaving only the southern portal standing, while the current structure was rebuilt in 1965.
