How the Moscow metro will develop in the next three years
From 2026 through 2028, the city plans to commission 26.9 kilometers of lines, 13 stations and one electric depot serving the Moscow Metro.
The new Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya metro line consisting of eight new stations will appear on the map within forthcoming three years. They will also be joined by Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr stations, which were previously built and operated as part of the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line. The total length of the line, which will connect the Moscow-City business center with Krasnogorsk, is 27.6 kilometers.
It is planned as well to commission the first section of the Biryulevskaya metro line, from ZIL station — Kuryanovo station (four stations) and Golyanovo station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line.
In June, Sergei Sobyanin has taken part in a ceremony to mark the beginning of work on the tunnels on the Biryulevskaya line of the Moscow Metro. The final length of the future radial line will be 22.2 kilometers, with 10 stations and interchanges to the Zamoskvoretskaya, Troitskaya and Bolshaya Koltsevaya lines (BKL), the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), and the Paveletskoye line of the Moscow railway.
In August, the Mayor of Moscow announced the launch of construction of the Golyanovo station at the intersection of Ussuriyskaya and Sakhalinskaya Streets. The subway will become closer for 230 thousand Muscovites. Many of them will be able to reach it on foot. Shchelkovskoye Highway and Shchelkovskaya metro station will be relieved. Travel times on public transport will be reduced at least by 15–20 minutes.
Construction will continue on the southern section of the Troitskaya metro line, from Novomoskovskaya station — Troitsk station (six stations), on Yuzhny Port station on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line and on Dostoevskaya station on the Koltsevaya line. Work will begin on the design of the line to Skolkovo and a number of other lines.
On City Day, September 13, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin opened train traffic between Novatorskaya and ZIL stations on the Troitskaya metro line section. The line has 11 stations, from ZIL in Danilovsky district to Novomoskovskaya in Kommunarka, including four stations opened today: Vavilovskaya, Akademicheskaya, Krymskaya and ZIL.
The Moscow City Government has already approved the draft budget of the capital for 2026–2028, and the relevant document has been submitted to the Moscow City Duma.
The draft budget is based on the strategic plans for the development of the economy, infrastructure and social sphere of the city for the period until 2030.
The main emphasis is on the implementation of 13 state programs. The state programs cover such matters as the provision of social support for residents, the development of the public transport system, education, healthcare, the digital environment and innovation. The total expenditures for the development of Moscow’s public transport system in 2026 will amount to about 1.3 trillion rubles.
