The A5 highway is a highway in Lithuania (Magistralinis kelias). It runs from Kaunas to the Polish border, toward Suwałki and ultimately - Warsaw. The length of the road is 97.86 km (60.81 mi). A section of the A5 highway - Kaunas-Marijampolė, has been refurbished to motorway, accessed only via grade-separated junctions. It is the first motorway built after Lithuania entered European Union in 2004.
The road will be reconstructed to motorway in a whole length. It will connect Kaunas with expressway S61 in Poland. The road will be only motorway connection that will connect Lithuanian motorway network with the rest of European motorway network.
Most of the A5 highway is coded Via Baltica in the European route system. The E67 highway ultimately connects Prague with Tallinn/Helsinki.
