White Rose Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Alytus, Lithuania
The White Rose Bridge is a pedestrian crossing over the Neman River in Alytus that rises significantly above the waterway, making it one of Lithuania's tallest walkways of this type. It links pathways on both sides of the river and serves as a main route for walkers and cyclists crossing through the city.
The structure was completed in 2015, rebuilt on the foundations of a former railway crossing. An earlier bridge from 1899 had stood at this location before being destroyed during World War I.
The bridge holds meaning for locals as a place where life's milestones are documented and celebrated. It has become part of how residents mark special occasions and gather with family.
The crossing is easy to reach on foot or by bicycle and connects directly through the city center. Visitors should know that height and open space allow for free movement, though windy conditions can occur in poor weather.
The bridge is known for offering regulated bungee jumping activities that take place throughout the year. This draws thrill-seekers who want to experience the full height of the structure.
