After the opening of the highway, Minister of Transport Evgeny Dietrich noted that all such roads have names. According to him, a vote was announced to select the name of the road.

“As far as I understand, there are three main ones - Valdai, Two Capitals and Neva. The most [votes] scored [option] "Neva". We will call it that, ”TASS quoted Putin as saying.

Earlier, Putin opened the M11 Moscow-St Petersburg high-speed toll road.
