Metro goes to the sun

Y a new branch in the southwest will be only one underground station

time when Solntsevo, Troparevo and Novoperedelkino cease to seem to Muscovites and guests edge light, it seems , is not far off. And the fact that until recently seemed to residents of those areas distant dream, is about to become a reality: on the southwestern outskirts of the capital will run a mini-train subway station. "MK" has learned details of the new transport project.

- Solntsevskaya line could be built in one fell swoop, in just a year and a half - confidently said the chief architect of the Metrogiprotrans Nikolai Shumakov. - To date, the project agreed in almost all instances, and metrostroevtsy just waiting for the signal to get down to business.
When constructing the first mini-metro in Butovo and designers and builders had to learn from their mistakes. Now all the errors into account, and found good solutions have been embraced. For example, construction of flyovers for the new line immediately designed in such a way as to vibrate as little as possible (and, consequently, less make a noise) and sound-absorbing screens it will be installed in the course of construction. In addition, all stations of the new line will fit for the reception of persons with disabilities: it is planned lifts and ramps with convenient handrails and other fixtures. Concourses and platforms Solntsevsky line more capacious than Butovskiy: Experience has shown that the mini-metro loaded no worse than usual, and space for waiting passengers are here, too, need a lot. Each station will be equipped with emergency elevator.
The new line will stretch from South-west "through Troparevo-Nikulino, Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye and Solntsevo in Novoperedelkino, its length - ten miles from the small, that the train will be overcome in the twenty-odd minutes. Stations will be six, five of them - on the overpass, the only underground - the new "South-west, with which passengers can change seats at the usual subway. From two stations, underground "Nikulinskiy and Elevated" Vostryakovo, in the latter stages metrostroevtsy decided to abandon.
New "Southwestern" vault is designed similar to a conventional subway station constructed in recent years. And the very station and interchange complex will accommodate persons with disabilities. With regard trestle stations, they all will be made in the same style and vary mostly coloring: Unfortunately, the diversity of the money was not enough.

on the surface of the train will leave in the area Nikulinskiy street. The first above-ground station, "Olympic Village", will appear at the intersection with Prospect Michurinsky Ochakivs'ka street, the rest will be located along the highway Borowski. This "Tereshkovo" Solntsevo, "Borovskoe Highway (near Prirechenskoy street) and" Novoperedelkino "(near the intersection of the highway with street Sholokhov). Later the line will be extended to Vnukovo, however, this will have to wait a little longer.
