October 2 is celebrated as Metro Builder’s Day. In his blog Sergey Sobyanin congratulated the specialists on their professional holiday, shared plans for the development of the Moscow Metro, and spoke about where the city’s main transport will go in the future.
“
Moscow Metro Construction turned 95 years old. I wholeheartedly congratulate the workers and veterans of the capital’s metro construction on this holiday! For nearly a century, your labor and talent have nurtured and developed our beloved Moscow! The new stations never cease to amaze with their beauty and comfort. They are built with love and will serve people for many centuries,” wrote the Mayor of Moscow.
A few weeks ago, the city updated the Moscow Metro development program. It is planned to build over 60 stations that will improve transportation services for more than seven million residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. The implementation of the program involves two stages — until 2030 and from 2031 to 2035.
The key task of the first stage will be the completion of the construction of three new radii — the Troitskaya, Biryulyovskaya, and Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro lines. On the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya line, construction of the second section towards Strogino, “SberCity,” and Novorizhskoye Highway continues. The second section of the Troitskaya line will extend to Troitsk. After the “Novomoskovskaya” station, stations “Sosenki,” “Rakitki,” “Desna,” “Kedrovaya,” “Vatutinki,” and “Troitsk” will open. And on the new Biryulyovsky radius, nine of ten stations are already under construction.
In addition, by 2030, the stations “Golyanovo” on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, “Yuzhny Port” on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovsky radius, as well as “Dostoevskaya” on the Circle line will be opened, the latter becoming the first new station on this line in over 70 years. The “Golyanovo” station will be designed with a space theme, and during the construction of “Yuzhny Port,” a unique engineering solution will combine the metro station and a road tunnel.
In addition, it is planned to extend the Sokolnicheskaya line from the station “Bulvar Rokossovskogo” to the Yaroslavsky district.
After the completion of these projects, the second phase will begin — a large-scale program to extend the metro to major centers in the Moscow suburbs, which have been part of the greater Moscow agglomeration for many years and live in sync with the capital. The second, no less important priority of the next decade is the construction of the metro in TiNAO.
Radial metro lines will be extended in seven directions. Thus, the exit of the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya line to Krasnogorsk will improve transportation services for an area with a projected population of over 610,000 people.
The Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line will run from the “Planernaya” station to the Kurkino district and the city of Khimki in the Moscow region. This will improve transport service for an area with a projected population of about 454 thousand people.
The new section of the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line, extended from “Medvedkovo,” will connect the capital with the urban district of Mytishchi, which has a forecasted population of 540 thousand people, as well as the nearby settlements of the Moscow region.
The Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line is planned to be extended from Golyanovo station to the city of Balashikha. This will improve transportation services for an area with an estimated population of over 670,000 people, both in the Eastern Moscow district and in Balashikha itself.
The new section of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line includes two stations: “Razvilka” in the eponymous settlement and “Volodarskoye Highway” in the large new development area of Misailovo in the Leninsky urban district of the Moscow region. The second phase of construction of the Biryulyovskaya line will run from the “Biryulyovo” station through the territory of the Leninsky district to Shcherbinka, Kommunarka, and the Filimonkovsky district. These projects will improve transportation services in the territories of the Moscow region with a projected population of over 690 thousand residents, as well as in Shcherbinka and other districts of the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts of the capital.
The extension of the Filevskaya line to Skolkovo will make trips more comfortable for residents of the Moscow districts of Ochakovo-Matveevskoe, Mozhaisky, Kuntsevo, the Skolkovo innovation center, as well as the Odintsovo urban district of the Moscow region, with a projected population of over 740 thousand people.
The development plans for the Moscow Metro until 2035 also include extending the Sokolnicheskaya line from the Potapovo station to Shcherbinka and from the Bulvar Rokossovskogo station to the Yaroslavsky district, the Troitskaya line from the Troitsk station to the Moskino cinepark, and the Solntsevskaya line from Vnukovo airport to the Filimonkovsky district.
“The plans are big and very complex. But Moscow metro builders have repeatedly proven that they can handle any tasks,” emphasized Sergey Sobyanin.
To find out how the capital has changed in recent years, what initiatives are currently being implemented to make city residents’ lives even more comfortable, and what awaits Moscow and its inhabitants in the near future, one can look at the large-scale
special project on the mos.ru portal, dedicated to the development of key areas of Moscow. Among them are transport, industry, healthcare, education, sports, and construction. The project “Transport” It will be of interest to everyone who wants to learn about the main stages of development in this field, support for electric transport, and the development of the route network. In recent years, Moscow’s public transport has become more comfortable and environmentally friendly, travel time around the city has been significantly reduced, and infrastructure for private electric vehicles has appeared.
