history
The old railway bridge in Jonava was built in 1914. The project author was Petras Vileišis (1851–1926). In the autumn of 1937 the Lithuanian Army built active reinforced concrete bunkers to defend the bridge according to the project of Major Juozas Vitkus . They were the first in Lithuania to be planned and built by local engineers. The bridge was destroyed during the Second World War . A new bridge was built 20 meters further downstream from the Neris towards Kaunas . An old pillar of the railway bridge remained in the Neris. In 2008 it was planned to build a sculpture for Žemyna here.
