The Memorial built on the M-11 Neva Express Motorway (at 561 km) was opened on 28 June 2020, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The memorial is devoted to the Red Army soldiers, who lost their lives during the Leningrad siege breaking in 1942.

This area along the Neva Motorway is named as the Valley of Death since thousands of soldiers died here.

The opening ceremony was attended by Mr. Ivanov, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for environmental, ecological and transportation matters, Mr. Levitin, the President’s Assistant, Mr. Dietrich, Minister of Transport, Mr. Petushenko, the Chairman of the Board of Russian Highways and Mr. Sokolov, Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg, and other officials.

On the volunteer basis, our specialists have carried out surveys to find the most appropriate location of the memorial ensuring comfortable access and environment for celebrations and ceremonies.
Contribution of our specialists has been highly appreciated by officials and honored with a medal of Transport Works Construction by the Governor of the Novgorod Region.
