Article Description| Floods strike the city twice a year on average. A 25.4-kilometer embankment across Neva Bay, featuring some of the world’s largest horizontal sector gates, was designed in the 1970s, started in the 1980s but halted in 1987 for environmental and financial reasons as the Communist regime started to crumble. |
