City launches construction of Third Interchange Circuit southern section

Construction has begun on the Third Interchange Circuit’s southern section with the Ulitsa Novatorov, Vorontsovskaya and Sevastopolsky Prospekt stations. Workers are preparing construction sites and access routes for vehicles and equipment and are also relaying utility mains. There are also plans to rebuild a section between the Kakhovskaya and Kashirskaya stations, said Andrei Bochkaryov, Head of the City Department of Construction.

“When completed, the Circuit section between the Prospekt Vernadskogo and Kakhovskaya stations will improve passenger traffic near Vernadsky Prospekt, the Obruchevsky and Cheryomushki districts and reduce trip times citywide,” Mr. Bochkaryov commented.

Under the contract, this project is scheduled to be completed in December 2019, he added.

“This year, trains will start running between the Delovoi Tsentr and Petrovsky Park stations, and the entire Third Interchange Circuit is to open in 2020-2021,” Mr. Bochkaryov explained.
