Metro "Rybatskoe" - one of the most popular transportation hubs in St. Petersburg

Metro "Fisherman" is considered to be one of the most popular transport hubs in the Northern capital. The prerequisites for this are in fact quite a lot, both economic and purely technical. To date, the facility has been functioning for about half a century, and it is almost impossible to underestimate its role.

Section 1. Metro "Rybatskoe". general description

The station is located behind the Ring Road (KAD) in the Nevsky District of the Rybatsky Municipal District and is the terminal stop of the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya metro line. This is the only line in St. Petersburg, which does not have pylon type stations. The management of trains on this line is carried out not by an auto-learning system, but by hand.

This is the southernmost underground station of the city on the Neva, which is located on Diesel Road, between the intersections with the streets of D. Ustinov and the Coastal. It has access to several streets of St. Petersburg - Diesel, Coastal, 1st Fisherman and 6th Fisherman's Passages, as well as a transfer to the railway station of the same name .

Section 2. Metro "Rybatskoe". History of the station

The first part of the Nevsky-Vasileostrovsky branch, which includes a transport hub, was launched in November 1967. The section of the section "Obukhovo" - "Rybatskoye" with the length of 3.2 km began to function from December 28, Its name derives from the historic name of the area in which it was built, and is the youngest station on the line.

The authors of the construction project of Art. Metro Rybatskoe were made by architects A.S.Getskin, K.G. Leontiev and N.V. Romashkin-Timanov.

For the first time in practice, for the underground construction of tunnels connecting the station with railway platforms and residential micro-districts, an extrusion method was used, which allowed not to stop the trains' movement. And for the construction of the roof was used a folded 18 span span, which allows the installation of station structures.

Initially, the station was installed small escalators, designed to move people from the underground passage to the cash register. But during the major reconstruction in 2000-2001. They were replaced by ordinary staircases.

Section 3. Metro "Fisherman". Features of the station

Due to the fact that the paths on the line "Rybatskoye" - "Obukhovo" from the ground platform go sharply to a deep foundation, the maximum permissible deviations were used on the haul of this direction. Another factor for such construction was that part of the station's line was built in an open way.

The ground part of the object consists of three platforms - two straight side and one island, which is a service platform. The covered pavilion, in which the subway platform is located, is a part of the buildings belonging to the railway station of the same name. Railway platforms and a metro stop connect two underground pedestrian crossings. One of them is still inoperative.

Marble slabs of white and gray colors were used for facing the wall surfaces and pillars of the "Rybatskoye" station. The floor of the platforms is lined with polished granite. Thanks to the windows installed in the upper part of the building, there is enough lighting at the station in the daytime. Above the tracks in the northern part of the station there are balconies, but the passage through them is closed.

Studying all this in more detail, one can not help thinking about how many unusual and original constructions Peter has in himself. Metro "Rybatskoe" - another confirmation of this.
