In Kaunas, Lithuania, residents were intrigued by the closure and ongoing demolition of the Sitkūnai bridge, which is part of the major Vilnius-Kaunas-Klaipėda highway (A1). This closure, which occurred from the evening of February 21 to the early morning of February 22, involved a complete shut down of traffic, redirecting vehicles to a temporary road built adjacent to the highway. The unusual sight inspired locals to describe the scene humorously, comparing it to 'dinosaurs eating the bridge,' highlighting the creativity in community response to construction interruptions.

The bridge demolition is part of a larger project aimed at improving infrastructure along the well-trafficked A1 highway. Following the main demolition work, normal traffic flow is expected to resume, though speed limits will be reduced in the work zone to enhance safety. From 112.98 to 114.21 km along the highway, speed limits will decrease from 110 km/h to 70 km/h, and further to 50 km/h as vehicles approach the construction site. Temporary signs have been placed to keep drivers informed about these changes.

As the project progresses, local authorities have indicated that traffic may occasionally be reduced to a single lane during the construction of the new bridge. This response shows a proactive approach to maintaining the flow of traffic while ensuring safety, and it reflects the growing needs for infrastructure updates in the region to accommodate increasing vehicle volumes without compromising road safety.
