On February 26, Moscow Mayor Sergei Semyonovich Sobyanin opened the first section of the Big Circle Metro Line. The Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr stations are open on a 10.5 km section. Among the five “pioneer” stations, “Khoroshevskaya” opened. It is located on Khoroshevskoe highway, between st. Kuusinen and 4th Magistralnaya.
The decision to build the Khoroshevskaya station was made by Moscow Government Decree No. 564-PP dated June 24, 2008. According to initial plans, the station was supposed to open by 2015, but it opened on February 26, 2018.

The main architectural idea of the station volume is to use natural stone of various colors to give the station recognition and individuality, while preserving the traditional image of the Moscow Metro stations with a feeling of light and bright space in an underground structure.
After the opening of the first stations of the Big Circle Line, the number of Moscow Metro stations reached 212, and the length of the lines was about 360 km.
At Khoroshevskaya station you can get out into the city: 4th Magistralnaya Street and Kuusinen Street

In Moscow, the first section of the Big Circle Line of the metro, a new line that was previously called the Third Interchange Circuit, has opened its doors. Five new stations have been opened - Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr. The Nizhnyaya Maslovka station is being completed and will also be put into operation this year. The authorities promise to complete all other sections of the new ring line within four to five years. Around the same time, the first lines of the Moscow Central Diameters system will be launched.

The new stations became part of the first section of the new Big Circle Line (BCL). At the design stage, this line was called the Third Interchange Circuit; the name was changed during the voting in the “Active Citizen”. In 2018 The mayor's office promises to open the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station; it is now in the final stages of construction. For 2019 As part of the BCL, it is planned to open the Aviamotornaya-Lefortovo-Rubtsovskaya section (located in the east). In 2020 The ring should be launched in its entirety, a total of 31 new stations will be available to passengers, reports the Moscow construction portal. It is curious that Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at the opening of the BCL that the entire ring line would be built “within four to five years,” that is, in 2022–2023.
The launch of the new line, judging by social networks, raised many questions among residents. The fact is that on the new section of the BCL, trains run along two routes - “Petrovsky Park” - “Business Center” and “Petrovsky Park” - “Ramenki” (in the latter case, the BCL is, as it were, part of the yellow, Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line) .
Passengers, in turn, must pay attention to where the train is going according to the display on the head car. The metro has already promised to install monitors with information at stations, but so far there are none.
In addition, the Delovoy Tsentr station as part of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line is temporarily closed, but its “backup” station as part of the BKL is open. This means, for example, that previously it was possible to travel in a straight line from Victory Park to the Business Center, but now you need to change trains at Shelepikha. “Such a scheme will confuse not just visitors, but many locals,” writes user Sergio Gaudi on the Moscow Transport page in
Deputy Mayor of Moscow for urban planning policy and construction Marat Khusnullin, the timing of the opening of new stations and plans until 2021.
The stations of the starting section of the Third Interchange Circuit of the metro - Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr - will open to passengers by the end of the year.
By this time, construction on the new section of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya to Seligerskaya will be completed. Traffic in this segment is planned to be launched at the beginning of 2018.
The new terminal station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line, Khovrino, is in a high degree of readiness. Read more about the new stations in our material.
New ring
The length of the new ring will be 66.7 km and will have 31 stations. The ring line will intersect 17 times with existing radial lines, with seven radial stations of the Moscow railway and two stations of the Moscow central ring.

The third interchange circuit will pass at a distance of approximately 10 kilometers from the Circle Line of the metro. The northern part of the new circuit from the Nizhegorodskaya Street station to the Shelepikha station will run within the MCC, and the southern part will pass through areas located behind the MCC stations.
It is expected that thanks to the new ring, passengers will be able to get from one point of the city to another faster and save 20 to 30 minutes on the trip.
The first five stations of the new ring, Delovoy Tsentr, Shelepikha, Khoroshevskaya, CSKA and Petrovsky Park, will open at the end of this year. Next year it is planned to open the following stations: "Rubtsovskaya", "Lefortovo", "Aviamotornaya", "Nizhnyaya Maslovka", as well as "Ulitsa Narodnogo Opolcheniya" and "Nizhniye Mnevniki" to the west of the "Khoroshevskaya" station. And in another year, trains will run from Nizhnyaya Maslovka to Rubtsovskaya station with stops: Sheremetyevskaya, Rzhevskaya, Stromynka, Rubtsovskaya.

The Khoroshevskaya station will be located along Khoroshevskoye Highway, adjacent to Kuusinen and Fourth Magistralnaya streets. The eastern lobby will be decorated with artistic compositions based on paintings by Kazimir Malevich and his followers – Rodchenko, Popova and Ekster. "Khoroshevskaya" will become the second Moscow metro station whose name will have the letter "ё". The first station with the letter “е” was the Troparevo station on the Sokolnicheskaya line, opened on December 8, 2014. "Khoroshevskaya" will be connected by a passage with the "Polezhaevskaya" station of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line.

Work on CSKA will be completed in the fall, metro construction workers promise. The station, located at a depth of 30 meters, will be decorated in the traditional colors of the Moscow football club CSKA - blue and red. The vaults will be decorated with paintings dedicated to various sports, and bronze sculptures of a skier, basketball player, hockey player and football player about five meters high will be installed on the platform. The CSKA coat of arms will be embossed on the pedestals of the sculptures.
The southern vestibule of the station faces the Khodynskoye Pole park, which is currently being built, and the northern one faces the Megasport sports palace. The station should relieve congestion at other metro stations: Polezhaevskaya, Sokol and Airport. Presumably, up to 120 thousand people will use it per day, 12 thousand people during rush hour. If desired, you can transfer from CSKA to the Sorge MCC station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to it, but they plan to create a convenient pedestrian passage.

The Petrovsky Park station will appear near the reconstructed Dynamo stadium. The station will have two exits on both sides of Leningradsky Prospekt and a transition to the Dynamo station. The color background of the station will be white and green. The walls will be faced with marble, and the floor will be laid with granite. Two rows of columns will be installed on the platform. The station will be able to accommodate 240 thousand passengers daily, and during peak hours 24 thousand people per hour will pass through it.
The second section of the third interchange circuit, 12 kilometers long, will include the following stations: Nizhnyaya Maslovka, Sheremetyevskaya, Rzhevskaya, Stromynka, Rubtsovskaya, Lefortovo, Aviamotornaya. In 2018, trains will be launched with stops at the following stations: Rubtsovskaya, Lefortovo, Aviamotornaya, Nizhegorodskaya, and the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station will also open. And a year later the stations "Sheremetyevskaya", "Rzhevskaya", "Stromynka". Thus, by 2019, the second section of the TPK from Nizhnyaya Maslovka to Nizhegorodskaya will be fully operational.
The southeastern part of the contour will occupy a section 11.5 kilometers long. Between Kashirskaya and Nizhegorodskaya there will be four more stations: Klenovy Boulevard, Nagatinsky Zaton, Pechatniki and Tekstilshchiki. The section will begin next to the Kashirskaya station under the territory of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.
The tunnels will pass under Kolomenskaya Street, cross the Moscow River and then stretch under Guryanov Street to the existing Pechatniki station on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line. Then, crossing the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway, a section of the second metro ring will go to the Tekstilshchiki station of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. Further, the line runs along Lyublinskaya and Gazgoldernaya streets with access to Ryazansky Prospekt to the Nizhegorodskaya Street station. The estimated load of the stations will be from 55 to 360 thousand people per day.
The last section of the large ring from the Kakhovskaya station to Mnevnikov will include the following stations: Terekhovo, Mozhaiskaya, Davydkovo, Aminevskoye Shosse, Michurinsky Prospekt, Vernadskogo Prospekt, Ulitsa Novatorov, Vorontsovskaya ". Construction of the stations is planned to begin in 2019.

By the end of the year, metro builders promised to commission three stations on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line: Okruzhnaya, Verkhnie Likhobory and Seligerskaya, located on the section from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya to Seligerskaya. The head of the construction department refused to name the exact launch date of the 6.1-kilometer section for passengers, indicating only an approximate time - the end of the year.
At the same time, we can expect the opening of seven stations on the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line: Michurinsky Prospekt, Ochakovo, Govorovo, Solntsevo, Borovskoye Shosse, Novoperedelkino, Rasskazovka.
Pink branch
The Kozhukhovskaya line of the Moscow metro will accept its first passengers at the end of 2018. Its length will be more than 17 kilometers. Nine stations will be built on the line: Aviamotornaya, Nizhegorodskaya Street, Stakhanovskaya, Okskaya Street, Yugo-Vostochnaya, Kosino, Dmitrievksogo Street, Lyuberetskaya, Nekrasovka. On the metro map the new radial line will be indicated in pink.
The Moscow metro has been in operation since May 15, 1935. During this time, it has become overgrown with stories, legends and fiction. Did Stalin take the metro during the war, does the subway have abandoned stations, and is it true that the Circle Line was built based on the imprint of a cup of coffee on the map of Moscow? The director of the People's Museum of the Moscow Metro, Konstantin Cherkassky, talks about all this.
At 23:17 the last train with passengers departed from the station. "Kashirskaya" at the station. "Varshavskaya". Passenger traffic on the Kashirskaya - Varshavskaya section has been stopped until the Big Circle Line is introduced into the section. The Kakhovskaya line ceased to exist. The Varshavskaya station has been temporarily withdrawn from passenger service. The total number of operating Moscow metro stations has been reduced to 229.
St. Petersburg - At 16:46 the first train with passengers departed from the station. "International" to the station. "Shushary". On the second attempt, a section of the Frunzensko-Primorskaya line with the stations: “Prospekt Slavy”, “Dunayskaya” and “Shushary” was put into operation. The total number of St. Petersburg metro stations has increased to 72.
Moscow - URST JSC began excavating a double-track tunnel on the section of the Big Circle Line from the station. "Karamyshevskaya" to the station. "Mnevniki". The excavation is carried out using a Herrenknecht S-956 Liliya TBM with a diameter of 10.85 m.
St. Petersburg - At 11 am, the opening ceremony of the section of the Frunzensko-Primorskaya line “International” - “Shushary” took place. Already after the departure at 11:29 of the first train with passengers from the station. "Shushary" to the station. "Prospekt Slavy" (without disembarking at "Dunayskaya") by the decision of the time. And. O. Governor A.D. Beglov, the opening was canceled, the stations were not put into permanent operation.

Do you know that...
One of the most important factors influencing the routing of the first metro launch section is the possibility of constructing an electric depot next to the line, which in turn must have a rail connection with the railway network for transporting cars from the manufacturer. However, history knows many exceptions to this rule: due to the unavailability of the overpass connecting the newly built electric depot of the Kazan metro with the railway line, cars to the depot were transported along the streets of Kazan on metal pallets. And in Kyiv, where the first open section to the station. “Dnepr” was separated from the future “Darnitsa” depot by an unbuilt metro bridge, a truly unique system was created: one of the tracks of the “Dnepr” overpass station was an elevator that lowered the metro car to the embankment, where until recently there was a tram line that was quite suitable for transportation carriages. And for maintenance and minor repairs, a temporary hangar was built next to the “metrolift.”
Khoroshevskaya
February 26, 2018, at 12:14 p.m., first train with passengers
arrived at the station "Khoroshevskaya".
The 210th station of the Moscow metro has opened!

Khoroshevskaya station (PK 121+63.80), next to the station. “Shelepikha” is a station under construction for the launch section of the Third Interchange Circuit, located in the west of Moscow, on the southern side of Khoroshevskoye Highway, parallel to the station. "Polezhaevskaya" Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, with which it forms an interchange hub. The project name of the station was approved by the Moscow Government Decree No. 564-PP dated June 24, 2008 and was given along the highway of the same name, which in turn received its name from the former Moscow region village of Khoroshevo, located on the banks of the Moscow River - the country estate of Tsar Boris Godunov. Also, at one time, “Khoroshevskaya” was the project name of the station. "Polezhaevskaya".
The station is columnar, shallow, with two rows of columns, with a column spacing of 9 m, a middle span width of 7.8 m, a platform width of 12 m. The station has two underground vestibules designed: the eastern one, with access to the 4th Magistralnaya st., and western, with access to the intersection of Khoroshevskoe highway and st. Kuusinena. Also through the western lobby there is a transfer to the station. "Polezhaevskaya". On the western side, two pairs of exit chambers are adjacent to Khoroshevskaya: the first pair is intended for double-track dead ends behind the station, and the second is for the future branching of the line into two directions: to the station. "People's Militia Street" and to the station. "Shelepikha" The general designer is OJSC Metrogiprotrans.
The construction of the station is being carried out by SMU Ingeocom LLC. In December 2013, the excavation of the left (northern) distillation tunnel from the station was completed in a separate dismantling chamber on the eastern side of the station. “Khodynskoye Field” - the first of the tunnels connected to the station. "Khoroshevskaya", and the first of the completed tunnels of the Third Interchange Circuit. On May 12, 2014, excavation of the left (western) distillation tunnel began from the pit of the ramp chamber to the west of the station towards the station. “Shelepikha” with the help of Robbins TBM Sofia. Commissioning of the site is scheduled for 2016.

Last updated November 2014
On the eve of the New Year 1973, one of the two unusual Moscow metro stations, Polezhaevskaya, opened in Moscow. It had 3 tracks, but unlike Partizanskaya (formerly Izmailovsky Park), it was an unusual project to create fork traffic. Some trains on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line were supposed to run under Marshal Zhukov Avenue. To the delight of Muscovites, the Soviet project was not implemented. Instead, a second station appeared next to Polezhaevskaya.
Khoroshevskaya is a typical modern station, which in the future will take over most of Khoroshyovo-Mnevniki, but for now let's talk about it as part of the current metro system.
1. Khoroshevskaya station was built parallel to Polezhaevskaya station. Slightly shifted relative to it, but the exits are located in the same place. Western on the corner of Khoroshevskoye Highway and Kuusinen Street, eastern at the corner of Khoroshevskoye Highway and 4th Magistralnaya Street. 
2. Since the main task was to create a new transfer hub, it was necessary to design the transfer in difficult conditions. The neighboring Polezhaevskaya has three tracks and narrow platforms. For many years, only one platform was used there, but when one of the lobbies was closed, for safety reasons it was necessary to open a second platform and separate passenger flows on the platforms. 
3. There were several ideas for connecting stations. They did not dare to do this through the passages in the center of the hall, as transfers are usually done. But there were proposals. An interesting idea was to convert the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line tunnel into the center for the arrival of a train on another track. So it would be possible to eliminate the middle path and make a transition in its place. They didn't decide either. 
4. In the end, we settled on transferring through the vestibules, creating two passages at both ends of the station. It turned out not very convenient, but quite understandable and quite economical. The idea cannot be called ideal, but it has its place. 
5. Let's take a little break since we're in the lobby. Crowd of metro fans and ticket collectors on the first day. 
6. An interesting solution was chosen for transition navigation. I have already met dissatisfied people on transport forums, but there is something in this. If you carefully read my text, you realized that there are transitions in both lobbies. At the same time, on the signs for the new station the transition is written only in one direction. What is the reason? Let's return to Polezhaevskaya again (at this rate I need to do the next report about her!) and her narrow platforms. Since no one has expanded the exits, the narrow list on the platform must accommodate 4 passenger flows: those entering from the street, leaving the street, moving to the new station and moving from the new station. A solution with signs in only one direction will send transfer passengers to different corridors and, accordingly, lighten the load a little. 
7. So don’t look at the four escalators exiting Khoroshyovka. The bottleneck is not on her. 
8. It’s time to move on to the design and architectural appearance of the new station. Khoroshevskaya greets us with abstract figures on the ceiling above the escalators. I would understand this as part of the actual design, but on the platform I see... 
9. ...sister of Petrovsky Park, CSKA and Shelepikha. Column three-span station at a depth of 21 meters with an island platform and absolutely no abstract figures. Column three-span black and white with a stone matching the color of the transfer line - purple. 
10. Despite the mentioned purple color of the marble, the situation here is similar to Petrovsky Park. There is also green, but it seems different. Here the color, in my opinion, is red-brown with a very large addition of black. Perhaps my lens considered the color this way, but the eye sees about the same thing. 
11. Black and white with red and brown and steel escalator structures look very nice together. The angle of the exit looks even better than the station itself. 
12. But she herself lacks something. At Petrovsky Park there is a passage in the center, at CSKA there are statues, at Shelepikha bright yellow shades distract the eye. And here? But I will say that it is still pleasing to the eye. It's a very nice stone. 
13. Khoroshevskaya’s prospects are very interesting. Today it is a station on the Big Circle and Solntsevskaya lines. Solntsevskaya will separate in the future. And Khoroshevskaya will for some time become a fork for traffic to the Business Center and towards Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street. Groundwork has already been left for this. The construction sites for this extension of the Big Circle are already under construction, and houses are being demolished for the construction of the metro. 
14. It will be possible to travel from here to Ramenki and further to Rasskazova until the completion of the construction of the new ring road to the west. It would be possible to go further, but common sense is already waking up here. If fork traffic with 2 directions is normal for Moscow, then with three directions it will create many problems. The Metro will be ready to issue a train schedule for three directions, but everyone will lose from this. The business center will receive even fewer trains - perhaps. People's Militia Street and Mnevniki will receive few trains - perhaps. And Ramenki, Ochakovo, Solntsevo, Novoperedelkino and Rasskazovka will create an apocalypse in their area. An interval of 6 minutes or more at peak times is uncomfortable. 
15. Now the trains here are half empty, but by the end of the year they will be very well filled. 
16. For me personally, this station has also become very convenient. I will use it in the future. 
17. By the way, a life hack for those transferring to the MCC. The Polezhaevskaya-Khoroshevo transfer is not the most convenient. Officially 8 minutes, in reality 2 stops on a trolleybus, which only in the case of immediate arrival of ground transport is reduced to 4-5 minutes. Even longer in winter and rain. You can get to the Shelepikha station, comfortably and very quickly transfer to the MCC and get to the Khoroshevo MCC. In time you will not win, but you will not lose either, but it will be comfortable. 
18. My verdict on the station is good! What about yours? 
Do you like the station or not?
Thank you for your attention! Stay in touch!
