The city of Kaunas is in the process of planning a new bridge as part of its broader development strategy, which has been supported by UAB 'Kauno planas'. The preliminary designs focus primarily on the bridge's functionality for transportation, with aesthetic considerations to be addressed in subsequent technical planning phases. The local authorities emphasize that this initiative will contribute to improved connectivity, alleviating traffic congestion in central Kaunas.

Mayor Visvaldas Matijošaitis highlighted that while some politicians may only discuss large-scale projects around election times, Kaunas is consistently advancing its infrastructure initiatives. The ongoing construction of multiple bridges and a viaduct, part of a larger promise to enhance the city’s transport network, reflects a commitment to meeting both current and future needs of its residents. As modernization efforts continue, these new connections are expected to ease everyday commutes for citizens.

Currently, the Šilainiai area is served by two main thoroughfares leading to the city center. As the academic year approaches, the timely completion of the new bridge and associated infrastructural developments is seen as essential for improving access and traffic flow during peak periods. The local government remains focused on strategic urban planning to ensure the long-term benefits of such projects for Kaunas’ residents, preparing the city for growth and enhancement of its public transportation system.
