Railway Bridge in Kaunas crosses Nemunas river to connect lower Freda. Because of its green paint, it is often called Green (Lithuanian: Žaliasis). Construction of the bridge started in 1859 and ended in 1862. However, during World War I parts of the bridge were destroyed, but soon afterwards were rebuilt by Germans. Paul von Hindenburg was among the guests who participated in the opening ceremony of the reconstructed bridge. During World War II, the bridge was blown up several times, but was rebuilt.
