Žirmūnai Bridge

The Žirmūnai Bridge is a concrete structure spanning the Neris River with three distinct sections supported by four piers. It connects the Žirmūnai and Antakalnis districts in a direct route across the waterway.

The structure was designed in 1964 by engineers from Leningrad and completed in 1965. It replaced an earlier cable ferry system that had served the crossing between the districts.

The bridge links two districts with distinct identities shaped by different eras of urban development. For local residents, it serves as a daily crossing that connects neighborhoods with their own character and rhythms.

The bridge welcomes both vehicle and pedestrian traffic on its route across the river. It serves as a key connection for daily movement between the two districts.

A modern sculpture titled 'Royal Apple' was installed beneath the bridge in 2016. The artwork creates an interesting visual contrast with the industrial structure that surrounds it.
