Lermontovsky Avenue. The subway came to the suburbs

In the autumn of last year, the first passengers of the Zhulebino and Lermontovsky Prospect stations were received. Metro in this direction stepped behind the Moscow ring road and came to remote outlying districts. What preceded this?

A short excursion into the history

The transport situation in the southeast of Moscow was sufficiently strained even in the Soviet era. The inhabitants of the capital's outskirts often felt themselves Muscovites of the second grade. But in recent years, the situation has escalated to the extreme. This is associated with both increased traffic flows leading to peak paralysis in all major roads during peak hours, and to the general remoteness of large residential areas from the center of the capital. The mismatch of transport infrastructure has become a brake on the development of Vykhino and Zhulebino districts. Attempts to solve the transport problem were made during the Soviet era, but they were expressed only in the development of a feasibility study for the extension of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line in the southeast direction. But no real actions in those years did not begin. Muscovites and guests of the capital still had a hard time getting to such streets as Lermontovsky Avenue. Metro appeared here only a few months ago. And this event can not be underestimated.

Moscow. Metro "Lermontovsky Prospekt"

The commissioning of the Tagansk-Krasnopresnenskaya metro line starting point to the Zhulebino station in the autumn of 2013 was a landmark in the development of the transport infrastructure of the entire Moscow southeast. The construction of tunnels and tunnels was not easy. The question of when the metro "Lermontovsky Prospekt" will open was not only interested in the residents of this street, but also in the inhabitants of all the surrounding neighborhoods. The opening of the metro station would allow Zhulebino residents to get to the center of the capital in no more than half an hour. But putting it into operation was postponed several times. The construction of the metro station "Lermontovsky Prospekt" was associated with a number of difficulties, both technical and financial. Repeatedly revised and refined the draft line and its link to the features of the terrain and quarter planning. Great problems, in particular, arose in July 2013 on the distillation tunnel going towards the station "Vykhino". It was flooded over a large stretch due to groundwater breakthrough. This complex site was the old Kosinsky swamp. Metrostroevtsy successfully overcome the difficulties encountered on their way.

Significant event

Without the slightest exaggeration of the historical can be considered the date of November 9, 2013. On this day the metro station "Lermontovsky Prospect" accepted the first passengers. The subway train brought them to the Taganskaya area to the transfer hub of the Ring Line and then to the north-east of the capital. This day is significant because the residents of the Vykhino-Zhulebino microdistricts, located behind the Ring Road, ceased to feel like outcasts, cut off from the capital's life. The way to work and back has become for many to fit within an hour. And you can go with comfort, without looking back at the traffic jams.

Station "Lermontovsky Prospekt". Metro in high-tech style

Let's take a closer look at what the new station is in architectural terms. It is quite unusual in terms of its design concept. In many European cities, especially in countries located on the Scandinavian Peninsula, such a style of decorative interior design can not be seen very rarely. But within the Moscow Metro, he had not been distributed before. Art critics define such stylistics with the term hi-tech. It is peculiar to the simplicity and expressiveness of lines and volumes. And also the brightness of the decorative design. In its constructive type, this is a single-vaulted, spacious shallow station. From her exit to Khvalynsky Boulevard and, of course, to Lermontov Avenue itself.

Prospects for further development

Despite the commissioning of the station, its construction has not yet been fully completed. This applies to both finishing works and further development of the station "Lermontovsky Prospekt". The subway continues to be built. And in the near future this station will be interchange. From it will be carried out the transition to the station "Kosino" Kozhukhovskaya line. In the operating system, it will go on preliminary calculations in December 2015. The Kozhukhov line is currently being built in an active way. In addition, further development in the southeast direction will receive Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. It will be continued to one hundred The Kotelniki.

What's new in Vykhino and Zhulebino?

The commissioning of new metro stations radically changed the quality of life of the former Moscow suburbs. Vykhino and Zhulebino clearly showed new prospects for the development of the economy, industry, business and commercial life. The presence of modern transport infrastructure has made these areas much more attractive for both ordinary residents and business people. This is evidenced even by analytical reviews of the development of demand for real estate. Realtor agencies denote its significant growth. More demanded were both residential premises in the southeast, and commercial areas. There were more people choosing, in the past, not popular Zhulebino for permanent residence.
