Metro Moscow: development plan for the near future

The Moscow metro is the most popular public transport of the capital. Certainly there will not be a single inhabitant of the city, who at least once did not descend into the subway. Of course, moving around in a private car is convenient, comfortable, but not always fast and appropriate. And, unfortunately, not all Muscovites have this same car.

The subway network does not cease to expand, like Moscow itself. Of course, residents of the city, its guests want to know in which direction the growth and development of the Moscow metro is taking place . The development plan is one of the most discussed topics lately. It is also remarkable for those who plan to purchase real estate and expects the proximity of the metro station. That is why we decided to present to all not indifferent readers the plan for the development of the Moscow metro until 2020.

Planning

Before the final development plan was approved, there were several projects under consideration, which I would like to tell our readers about. The most interesting and famous projects were the "Big Ring of the Moscow Metro" and "Chord Line of the Moscow Metro." The general plan assumed that by 2025 the total length of the Moscow subway lines would reach 650 km.

Current development

If you travel quite often on the Moscow metro, the development plan for it is certainly an interesting and relevant topic for you. So, the prospects for the next few years are fixed in the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. But do not forget that some adjustments and changes are possible.

So, at the beginning of the past (2016), it was decided to extend the Sokolniki line from the station "Salarievo". Thus, there will be a new site with a length of 9 km. It will be presented by 4 new stations. The Moscow government will allocate about 40 billion rubles for the extension of this branch. The next section of the Sokolnicheskaya Line will expand in the direction of the Kaluga Highway (Novaya Moskva). Crossing with him, according to preliminary plans, will hide in the tunnel.

2017 will be devoted to the development of the Lubelsko-Dmitrovskaya. Admittedly, transport accessibility in this direction is a real problem for the residents. But even the appearance of the new station "Seligerskaya" will not solve the problem to the full extent - residents of new areas will have to use land transport for the time being.

Kozhukhovskaya line - another significant object, indicated in the near future development of the Moscow metro. The development plan assumes that it will proceed from the new residential areas of Nekrasovka and Kosino to the station "Nizhegorodskaya".

Summing up

The new Moscow is a grandiose and large-scale project of the Moscow government. That is why this direction has been chosen as a priority, the Moscow metro will actively grow and develop in that direction. While it is difficult to say, by what year the site will be covered by the stations, but the changes have already begun. Of course, the majority of stations in this direction will be ground-based, which in no way will affect the popularity of the Moscow metro. The development plan does not cease to be updated, so stay tuned for the latest news to keep up to date with all the changes.
