OREANDA-NEWS The new Gorny Institute metro station in St. Petersburg opened on Friday for passengers, RIA Novosti correspondent reports.
"It took us a long time to open this station, it was not easy, there were a lot of difficulties. But this is a significant event, because this is the first station that our Metrostroy of the Northern Capital is opening... This station will serve about 100,000 passengers a day," Alexander Beglov, Governor of St. Petersburg, said at the opening of the station.
Mining Institute is a station on the Lakhtinsko-Pravoberezhnaya line of the St. Petersburg Metro. It is one of the deepest stations of the St. Petersburg metro – some work in the distillation tunnels was carried out at a depth of about 70 meters underground. It will become the third metro station on Vasilyevsky Island.
The total length of the metro line section from the Spasskaya station to the Mining Institute station is more than 3.6 kilometers. The construction of this section started in 2014. The new section of the metro also includes the Teatralnaya station, which has not yet opened.
The design of the Mining Institute metro station is dedicated to the history of the St. Petersburg Mining University of Empress Catherine II. Natural materials of domestic production were used in the design of the pedestrian gallery, the underground lobby and the station itself: granite, marble, gabbro-diabase.
The architectural and artistic design of the station includes mosaic panels made in Florentine technique in the central hall: a composition on the mining industry and the natural resources of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East, as well as a landscape with a view of the main building of the Mining University. Two more panels, made in the form of abstract compositions, are also dedicated to the mining industry. Two more decorative panels have been installed in the station lobby – a hammered copper one above the escalators and a mosaic one in the ticket hall.
