Navigation Pass S-1 of Saint Petersburg Dam

The Navigation Pass S-1 of Saint Petersburg Dam is a storm surge barrier in the eastern part of the Finnish Gulf to the south of the island of Kotlin, Russia.

It is part of a waterway from the Baltic Sea to Saint Petersburg located at eastern end of Neva Bay.

The scheme of S-1 is similar to the Maeslantkering barrier in the Netherlands and consists of two submersible caissons with dimensions 125×22 metres, which are used to close the navigable channel and thus stop storm tides from proliferating into Neva Bay.

The Saint Petersburg Ring Road crosses it via an underwater tunnel.

Their first use for the city protection against storm surges happened on 27 November of the same year.
