The solid steel structure, comprised from a main section and two side sections, weighed more than 600t in total.
The project was commissioned by the Lithuanian government, with the walking bridge constructed by Alkesta, who contracted Mammoet to move the structure. Mammoet completed the project in mid-May, after overcoming a number of challenges including a strong current and the width of the river.
The bridge connects the two banks of the river Numenas, the largest river in the country. The original bridge across the Numenas was destroyed during bombing in World War II.
