Ladoga Bridge

The Ladoga Bridge in Shlisselburg was built from 1978 to 1983 according to the design of architect Yu. I. Sinitsa and engineers A. I. Ketzlakh and O. Yu. Rusinov. Its reinforced concrete supports are faced with granite, and the total length of the structure is 655 meters. It is the only operating drawbridge on federal roads in the Leningrad region, connecting St. Petersburg with Karelia, Murmansk, and Vologda regions. In January 1943, near the former village of Maryino, there was a crossing point of the Neva River near the bridge.
