Railway Bridge, Kaunas, Railway truss bridge in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The Railway Bridge is a metal truss structure spanning the Neman River with interlocking triangular sections designed to carry train loads. Its latticed steel framework and supporting columns are clearly visible from the riverbanks and create a distinctive silhouette against the skyline.
Engineer Ernest Goüin designed and built this bridge in 1862 to establish a crucial railway connection across the Neman River. It marked a turning point in opening up rail transport across Lithuania during Europe's era of rapid railway expansion.
The bridge structure represents nineteenth-century engineering methods and stands as an example of industrial development in the Baltic region.
The bridge is an active railway infrastructure and cannot be walked across. The best views are from the riverbanks and nearby waterfront paths in Kaunas.
The bridge configuration combines metal construction techniques from the 1860s with structural elements that have sustained railway traffic for over 150 years.
