Lietuvos tūkstantmečio tiltas is a road bridge made of steel and concrete that spans the Nemunas River to connect different parts of Alytus. It has two traffic lanes and handles the flow of vehicles crossing between the city's districts.
Planning for the bridge began in 1985, but the project faced delays for many years until construction was completed in 2008. The completion coincided with its naming to mark the new millennium.
The bridge serves as a connection point between different neighborhoods of Alytus, strengthening community bonds through improved accessibility.
The bridge is designed for vehicle traffic and handles a high volume of cars daily. Pedestrians and cyclists should check local information for designated pathways or alternative crossing options.
The bridge was an unfinished project for decades before finally being completed, making its opening a special moment for the community. The long wait highlighted how important this crossing had become for daily life in the city.
