From Nekrasovka to Rasskazovka: Metro to launch its longest route in 2021

According to Deputy Moscow Mayor for Urban Development and Construction Marat Khusnullin, the Moscow Metro’s longest section will enter service in 2021, linking Nekrasovska and Rasskazovkastations.

“The new route will connect several sections of the Big Circle Line (BCL), the Nekrasovskaya Line, which is currently under construction, and the newly launched Solntsevskaya Line, providing transit from the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative areas to the southeast and the north via the city centre,” Khusnullin commented.

The deputy mayor explained that the Nekrasovskaya Line will be fully operational next year, and the northeastern part of the BCL will launch into service in 2021. “We plan to open Savyolovskaya station this year and the section between Nizhegorodskaya and Aviamotornaya stations next year,” added the head of the Urban Development and Construction Complex (Stroicomplex).

The new metro sections will give passengers a new route, from Rasskazovka on the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line to Nekrasovka station, first by taking the northern semi-circuit of the BCL and then usingby the pink line after Nizhegorodskaya station to reach Nekrasovka station.

“The Moscow Metro has never included such a complex and long route covering such a huge area,” stressed Khusnullin.

The Big Circle Line will extend over about 70 km, with 31 stations. The first section of the BCLfrom Petrovsky Park to Delovoi Tsentr has been in service since February 2018. There are plans to complete the construction in 2023.
