The Neva river system gets its name from the last 74 kilometers of the river, but drains a very large catchment area via the two large tributaries of Lake Ladoga ( Volkhov and Swir ). The average water runoff of the Neva of around 2500 m³ / s is only slightly lower than the average water runoff of the Rhine .
The most important river arms in the Neva Delta are the Great and Small Neva and the Great, Middle and Small Nevka.

- Ladoga bridge (trunk road R21 below Schluesselburg )
- Kusminka bridge (rail lifting bridge along the route Ladoga Station - Mga in Kusminka above Otradnoje )
- Great Obuchowski Bridge ( ring road )
- Volodarsky Bridge , 1993
- Finnish Railway Bridge (lift bridge on the connecting line between Moscow Railway - Ladoga Railway Station - Finnish Railway Station )
- Alexander Nevsky Bridge (by tram)
- Bolsheochtinsky Bridge
- Liteiny Bridge (by tram)

- Castle Bridge
- Blagoveschensky Bridge (formerly Leutnant Schmidt Bridge)
The first two bridges are located in the area of Leningrad Oblast , the Great Obukhovsky Bridge on the city limits of Saint Petersburg, the rest in the urban area. Before the confluence of the Great Neva, the Neva Bay is crossed by a cable-stayed bridge during the Sapadny skorostnoi diametr expressway, which was completed in 2016 ; likewise the other mouth arms in the mouth area into the bay (from north to south Great Newka, Little Neva, the Sea Canal and Jekaterinowka), while the Smolenka is crossed by a tunnel.
During the night between 2 and 5 a.m. in Saint Petersburg, the Neva road bridges are opened, after which there is no longer any connection between numerous parts of the city. During the White Nights from the end of June to mid-July, the passage of the ship convoys is a spectacle that thousands of people watch despite the sleep time.
