The road will be only motorway connection between the Lithuanian motorway network and the rest of the European motorway network. The entire reconstruction up to the polish border is due to be completed by 2025.

Most of the A5 highway is coded Via Baltica in the European route system. The E67 highway ultimately connects Prague with Tallinn/Helsinki.
