M. K. Čiurlionis Bridge, Concrete bridge in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The M. K. Čiurlionis Bridge is a concrete structure spanning approximately 475 meters across the Nemunas River, connecting central Kaunas with the Freda and Aleksotas districts. The roadway accommodates six traffic lanes while separate paths serve pedestrians and cyclists.
Construction began in 1991 but faced repeated interruptions due to financial difficulties. The bridge finally opened to traffic in October 2002.
The bridge honors Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, a painter and composer who defined Lithuanian artistic expression. His name connects this modern structure to the country's cultural legacy.
The bridge features four lanes in each direction and well-maintained paths for pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely. Plan your crossing outside rush hours when traffic flow is lighter.
The structure was assembled from 600 precast concrete box sections, a noteworthy example of modern construction technique. This method enabled efficient assembly and made the project a reference point for engineering works in Eastern Europe.
