UK studio Zaha Hadid Architects has designed a 46-metre-wide bridge with a curved timber roof for Vilnius railway station in Lithuania as part of a renovation project called Green Connect.

Green Connect is being carried out to modernise the station and the adjacent public square, offering improved public spaces and links throughout the city.
The redesigned station will form part of the new Rail Baltica high-speed rail network, for which Zaha Hadid Architects is also developing the Ãœlemiste terminal in Tallinn, Estonia.
