Ladozhsky Bridge

Ladozhsky Bridge is a bascule bridge spanning 655 meters across a waterway and measuring 24 meters wide. Its mechanical lifting sections raise to allow vessels to pass underneath.

Construction took place between 1978 and 1983, with two lanes opening in 1981. Full capacity was achieved two years later.

A military museum complex sits near this bridge, displaying a T-34 tank and a diorama about the defense of Leningrad. These exhibits reflect the area's role in the region's wartime past.

This bridge sits at a major transportation intersection on the Saint Petersburg to Murmansk federal highway. Plan your crossing knowing that lifting operations may cause temporary closures.

This structure is the first bridge crossing the Neva River from its source, located just six kilometers away. This position along the river's beginning makes it a distinctive landmark.
