OREANDA-NEWS About 40 new metro stations are planned to be built in Moscow by 2030, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin wrote on his blog.

Eight of them will open to passengers in 2024, the mayor said.

He recalled that last year the Troitskaya Line appeared in the capital, and another station, Potapovo, was added to Sokolnicheskaya. On the eve of the New Year, the Kornilovskaya, Kommunarka and Novomoskovskaya stations were completed.

"In the new year, we will open a section of the Troitskaya line from the ZIL station to the Innovatorskaya station with four stations: ZIL and Krymskaya with transfers to the MCC, Akademicheskaya with transfers to the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line and Vavilovskaya. And by 2030, the 16th line of the Moscow subway will grow to the stations Sosenki, Letovo, Desna, Kedrovaya, Vatutinki and Troitsk," Sobyanin added.

He specified that the first stations of the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro line will open in 2026.

In addition, the construction of the Dostoevskaya station, the first on the Ring Line in 70 years, is in full swing. It is planned to complete the work in 2030. In addition, specialists will begin construction of Golyanovo, the new terminus of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. The work is expected to be completed in 2028. In 2025, the design of the future Biryulevskaya line will continue. It is planned that there will be 10 stations on the line.

In parallel, the city's surface metro infrastructure will continue to develop.
