The railway transport forms an important part of a whole transportation system of each country.
Lithuania is being crossed by Trans-European Rail Corridors connecting Baltic countries via Warsaw to the rest of EU as well
as Lithuania with Byelorussia, Ukraine and Russia becoming a part of major Trans-Asian corridors (Vasiliauskas and Barysiene 2008).
The main problem facing the railway bridges is that national and EU territory railway networks operate to different track and load standards.
