Infrastructure development in Kaunas

Overview

Infrastructure development in Kaunas, Lithuania, has progressed through several major projects. In late August 2026, a new section of the Kaunas Southeast Bypass and a bridge over the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant opened ahead of schedule. This development was designed to improve transit efficiency for drivers traveling from Vilnius toward Marijampolė and to provide better access to the Palemonas and Petrašiūnai districts.

Simultaneously, the Santakos Bridge project reached a significant milestone with the installation of a 6,500-ton steel girder connecting the banks of the Nemunas River. The 417-meter-long bridge, which will include lanes for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. These projects are part of a broader series of infrastructure investments within the city.
