The station under construction on the Big Circle Line "Nizhnyaya Maslovka". At the moment, the section "Petrovsky Park - Nizhnyaya Maslovka" is 55% ready. A large transfer hub will be created near the new station, providing a transfer from the metro to surface transport and the first line of the Moscow Central Diameters (MTsD-1). Read about when the station will open in the material of the Moscow 24 portal.
The deepest on the Grand Ring
At the end of the year, the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station of the Big Circle Line (BKL) will open its doors to passengers. It will become the deepest station on the Big Ring - 65 meters underground.
The station will be located on the site between the stations "Petrovsky Park" and the promising station "Sheremetyevskaya", under the Butyrskaya Zastava square. Exits will be made on both sides of Butyrskaya Street and to the railway platforms of Savelovsky Station. Now "Lower Maslovka" is almost completed. Mining work was completed there, waterproofing was carried out in the escalator tunnels. Now they are pumping concrete and isolating the main tunnels and setting up engineering systems. Finishing work will begin very soon: the lobbies will be lined with gray and white marble and black granite.
The station will be able to "pass" through itself in the morning and evening peak hours of almost 30 thousand people per hour.
In addition, at the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station there will be a turnaround siding for trains running on the first section of the Big Circle Line from Delovoy Tsentr to Petrovsky Park. At stations with deadlocks, turnover is carried out during the day, and trains settle at night, as well as the parking of the so-called hot reserve for emergency replacement of trains on the line during peak hours.
To help "Savelovskaya"
The metro station "Nizhnyaya Maslovka" will become part of the TPU "Savelovskaya", which will provide a transfer between two metro lines, Savelovsky station and ground public transport.

The TPU will include an underground pedestrian crossing, platforms for boarding and disembarking passengers and ground transport stops, parking for 31 parking spaces. It is planned to reconstruct the area of Savelovsky Station and the road network, including the improvement of the adjacent territory. In the future, opposite the Savelovsky railway station, it is planned to build a hotel complex for 180 rooms with underground parking for 60 places.
Now Savelovsky Station is the only one in Moscow that serves only electric trains. At least 35,000 passengers arrive here daily from Lobnya, Dmitrov, Dubna, Savelovo, Mozhaisk, and Zvenigorod. Due to the huge passenger traffic, the Savelovskaya station is under a heavy load.
Also, "Nizhnyaya Maslovka" will be a transfer point for passengers of the Moscow Central Diameters, where "Moskva-Butyrskaya" will become one of the stopping points of the MCD-1 "Odintsovo - Lobnya".
Big circle line
This year, passengers will be able to travel along the first section of the Big Circle Metro Line (BKL). Within the next two months, a section from the Delovoy Tsentr station to the Petrovsky Park station will be opened for passengers, including five stations: Delovoy Tsentr, Khoroshevskaya, CSKA, Shelepikha, and Petrovsky Park. By the end of the year, traffic will be allowed to the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station.
The launch of traffic along the new ring in the north-west of the capital will make it easier to move around the city for residents of the Khoroshevsky, Airport, Timiryazevsky, Presnensky and Savelovsky districts. And the travel time from the "Business Center" to "Savelovskaya" will be reduced by almost 2 times - from 30 to 15 minutes.
The entire length of the new ring is 68.2 kilometers. Thus, BKL can become the longest circular metro line in the world. The construction of the ring is planned to be completed in the next three years.
On February 26, the opening of the first section of the Big Circle Line of the Moscow Metro took place. Five new stations were opened for passengers at once, located in the north-west of Moscow. Station "Petrovsky Park" - columned three-span shallow station with one island platform.
One of the entrances to the Petrovsky Park station is located just a hundred meters from the lobby of the Dinamo metro station. Later, the Petrovsky Park station will be connected by a transfer to the Dynamo station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line, at the moment the crossing is under construction.

The spacing of the columns is 9 m, the width of the middle span is 7.8 m, the width of the platforms is 12 m.
Pedestrian galleries are located above the tracks, which have access to the platform through stairways in the center of the station.
The project of the Petrovsky Park station is typical, like that of other stations of the first stage of the Big Circle Line.
Oka model cars were launched along the Big Circle Line
Since its opening, the station has been part of two routes: the Solntsevskaya Line and the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line. Trains run every 2-3 minutes
In the center of the platform there is a transition to the Dynamo station

The commissioning of the first section of the BCL will redistribute the passenger traffic of several metro lines and the Moscow Central Circle due to the appearance of four new interchanges:
"Shelepikha" BCL - Shelepikha MCC,
"Khoroshevskaya" BKL - "Polezhaevskaya" of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line,
"Khoroshevskaya" BCL - Khoroshevo MCC,
"Petrovsky Park" BKL - "Dynamo" Zamoskvoretskaya line (street crossing, no re-payment is charged at the transition, by analogy with the transitions to the MCC).
In the subway cars, for passengers, there are posters with the movement of trains on the new subway section

Congratulations to all Muscovites on the opening of a new metro station and on the commissioning of a new section of the Big Circle Line
Once again, the deadline for launching passenger traffic on the first section of the Third Interchange Circuit of the metro from the Delovoy Tsentr station to Petrovsky Park was postponed, it is expected in 2018.
The construction of the TPK began at the end of 2011. The third interchange circuit of the subway with 31 stations will stretch for 67 kilometers. The mayor of the capital Sergei Sobyanin has repeatedly spoken about the importance of the new subway line for the city and its residents. So, in March 2015, when inspecting the Khoroshevskaya station under construction as part of the first section of the TPK, he said that the new metro line would connect remote areas of Moscow.
“We are in the process of constructing the first section of the Third Metro Interchange Circuit, 12 kilometers long, which is being built not as an outbound highway, not as a subway radius, but as part of a ring passing through a number of Moscow districts, improving their connection, and also integrating into a branch that goes to Solntsevo, ”Sobyanin noted.
At that time, half of the first section of the Third Interchange Metro Circuit with five stations had already been built: Delovoy Tsentr, Shelepikha, Khoroshevskaya, CSKA and Petrovsky Park. It was planned to put it into operation at that time in 2017.
TPK LAUNCH: MULTIPLE TRANSFERS
In March 2016, on the official website of the Mayor of Moscow, there were already other dates for the launch of the first section of the TPK. According to the publication, it was going to open in the same year, however, this did not happen.
Last December, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Construction Pyotr Aksenov announced an unprecedented number of new metro stations that the Moscow authorities will open in 2017 - 14 units. By March of this year, the plans of the authorities to commission subway stations had grown. Andrey Bochkarev, head of the construction department of the capital, reported that 19 new stations will be commissioned in 2017, including the first section of the Third Interchange Circuit with five stations.
At the same time, in March, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction Marat Khusnullin said that the stations of the first section of the TPK from Delovoy Tsentr to Petrovsky Park were in a very high degree of readiness and work on them is planned to be completed in the summer.
In April, the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, expressed the hope that the first five TPK stations would be launched in the fall. “I hope that the first five stations of the large metro ring will open in the autumn - the Third interchange circuit from the Business Center to Petrovsky Park,” Sobyanin said then.
As of June, the opening of the first section of the TPK was still scheduled for fall 2017.
“The line of the Third interchange circuit from the Business Center to Petrovsky Park will go in the third quarter of this year, by autumn, there is no doubt about it,” Khusnullin said.
SO far THERE IS ONLY A TECHNICAL START-UP
In early September, the technical launch of the first section of the Third Interchange Metro Circuit from the Delovoy Tsentr station to Petrovsky Park took place with the participation of Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. According to him, a few months after the completion of commissioning, passenger trains should run at the site.
"The project of a large underground metro ring is becoming a reality," the mayor stressed.
In September, the website of the Khusnullin-led complex for urban policy and construction of Moscow reported that a section of the line should open to passengers before the end of 2017.
In October, Khusnullin said that work on the first section of the TPK had almost reached the finish line. According to him, at that moment there was a run-in of trains and "settlement" of stations. Speaking about the opening time of the site, the official noted that it could be launched in late November - early December 2017.
Later in October, the head of the capital's construction complex announced that this section of the metro would be launched for passengers "literally in December." When the last month of the year arrived, Khusnullin announced new dates: the first section of the TPK, according to him, will be fully launched at the end of this year - early 2018.
Further in December, Andrey Bochkarev, the head of the construction department of the capital, no longer spoke about the opening of the first section of the TPK in 2017. The official said that on the TPK section from the Delovoy Tsentr station to Petrovsky Park, it remains to install television surveillance and fire safety systems, and passenger traffic is planned to be launched in early 2018.
WHAT OTHER STATIONS DID NOT WAIT IN 2017
In addition to the first section of the TPK, the Moscow authorities postponed the opening of other new subway stations. A year ago, Pyotr Aksenov, First Deputy Head of the Moscow Construction Department, reported that in 2017 the authorities in Moscow would do everything possible to launch a section of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line to Rasskazovka for passengers. At the moment, the section from the Ramenki station to Rasskazovka with the placement of seven stations is planned to be opened before the end of the first quarter of 2018.
In March, Andrey Bochkarev, Head of the Moscow Construction Department, announced the opening in 2017 of a section of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station to the Seligerskaya station, with the placement of the Okruzhnaya, Verkhnie Likhobory and Seligerskaya stations. In November, the general director of Mosmetrostroy, Sergey Zhukov, announced that passenger traffic to Seligerskaya would be launched in March 2018.
Two new options for traffic along the "new yellow" Solntsevskaya line will be presented to passengers by the capital's transport workers in the last days of February 2018. Not everyone will like them, as the Delovoy Tsentr station will be closed for an indefinite, but very long time. Such maneuvers are part of the preparations for the opening of the first northern section of the Great Circle Line (BCL), expected in the coming weeks.
New routes of the Solntsevskaya line
It remains unknown when the Delovoy Tsentr station on the Solntsevskaya Line will open again for passengers. But this expectation will last at least a few years. The central section of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line between Delovoy Tsentr and Tretyakovskaya stations has not even begun to be built yet. The future of the key stations for the formation of new transfer hubs of the Moscow metro stations is being postponed to ever later dates - in favor of other projects that promise "quick wins" with less capital investment and labor costs. A site in the city center can only be built in deep foundations, and according to the most optimistic forecasts, construction work will take five to seven years. During the same time, you can have time to solemnly "cut the ribbons" at several sections of shallow stations in the peripheral areas of the city.
Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, the Novokrestovskaya and Begovaya stations of the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya line this year.
“Let's go along the Big Ring” - now passengers of the Moscow Metro will use this phrase. The first section, 10.5 km long, from Petrovsky Park station to Delovoy Tsentr was launched on February 26. Five new stations are located in the northwest of Moscow.
The first days of the Big Circle Line: Fans attacked the CSKA station, and passengers got confused in navigation
Is this a continuation of the yellow line from Delovoy Tsentr? - some passengers do not understand yet.
No, this is a new metro line - only 31 stations. Today, the first 5 stations have been opened, - the employees of the Moscow metro explain.
What color is the line?
Turquoise line fragment. Designations have already appeared on the maps in the cars and on the navigation at the stations of the Moscow Metro.
This is the same line that was called the Third Interchange Circuit. But Muscovites did not like this name, and before the opening of the first stations in the Active Citizen application, they voted for the new name Big Circle Line (BKL). And it really is more suitable - if you look at the map, then the shape of the line resembles a ring. This is 69 km, 31 stations and 21 transfers to other metro and MCC stations. It will be possible to complete the construction of all stations and completely close the ring in 2022-2023.
Let's go faster
Which stations can already be used by passengers? The first section consists of five stations: Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelipikha, Delovoy Tsentr.
Today is a great historical event for Moscow. The first section of the Big Circle Metro Line is being put into operation. This is one of the largest metro lines in the world, it will cover the middle parts of Moscow and make the districts much closer, transport accessibility will be better. The overloaded Circle Line, radial directions will be unloaded. I wanted to thank the builders for the difficult, hard work. There are even more tasks ahead, within 4-5 years we must build the entire circle line, make Moscow's transport more modern and comfortable, - said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and handed letters of thanks to the builders.
Thank you for restoring historical justice and along with the Dynamo and Spartak stations, the CSKA station also appeared, - thanked the mayor of the city Sergey Ivanov, special presidential envoy for ecology and transport.
It should be noted that building a metro in the center of Moscow is not an easy task. The work is complicated by groundwater, dense buildings, residential buildings and shopping centers. However, the Big Circle Line will radically increase the speed and comfort of metro travel. Previously, in order to switch from one metro line to another, one had to go to the center to the Circle Line. Now the travel time will be reduced by 20-30 minutes.
The new stations will reduce the load on existing metro lines, including the Koltsevaya line. The expected passenger traffic will be more than 1 million per day.
Sports and office restraint
New stations (even if you don't need to go there) need to go to see the modern design. The interior of each station is matched to the color of the line to which passengers can transfer. At the station "Petrovsky Park" one gets the impression that he was in the park - the columns were decorated with green marble in the form of torches. From such "trees" it is easy to guess that the transition to the "green" (Zamoskvoretskaya) line, namely to the Dynamo station.
A stadium will be opened nearby, and one Dynamo metro station would not be enough. And so the fans will come out after football, and everyone will go to their station. It should be comfortable, - says passenger Andrey.
A truly sporty mood at the CSKA station - there are so many attributes, bronze sculptures of a basketball player, hockey player, skier and football player. Even the letters "CSKA" on the platform in the blue and red colors of the football club of the same name. Also, paratroopers, sailboats and equestrian athletes descending from the sky attract attention.
What stylish metal columns - I admire.
It's not for design. They are able to remove smoke from the platform in case of an emergency. The same will be at all new stations of the Big Ring, - says Irina, an employee of the CSKA station.
By the way, at the Petrovsky Park station on the "balconies" there are also special curtains that will be pulled out in case of fire and will urgently be able to cut off Petrovsky Park from the transition to Dynamo. The curtains themselves are made of special fabric, which is not afraid of smoke, gas and fire.
The brightest station from the first section is Shelepikha. Passengers are already comparing it with the color of a bee. The platform is decorated with yellow, white and black marble, the entrances to the station are in the same colors.
The effect of airiness is created by purple columns at the Khoroshevskaya station. By the way, this is the second station after "Troparevo", where the letter "ё" is used in the name. The feature of the station is also in its creative idea - the eastern lobby is decorated with compositions in the spirit of Malevich's works. Near the station there will be an intercepting parking lot where one could leave the car.
It's so convenient. You can immediately get into the zone of the shopping and entertainment complex "Afimall" and make purchases, - passenger Inna rejoices at the station "Business Center".
The design of the Delovoy Tsentr station is reminiscent of an office – metal panels, glass pedestrian balcony railings, light niches, and blue panels in the color of the Filevskaya Line. It should be understood that this design was not chosen by chance - the Moscow City complex is nearby.
From the station you can transfer to the Delovoy Tsentr station of the same name on the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line, as well as to the Vystavochnaya Filyovskaya line.
The first section of the BCL:
- Delovoy Tsentr (transfer to the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line, as well as to the Vystavochnaya Line on the Filevskaya Line);
- "Shelepikha" (transfer to the MCC Shelepikha platform);
- "Khoroshevskaya" (transfer to "Polezhaevskaya" of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line and the Khoroshevo MCC station);
- Petrovsky Park (transfer to Dynamo Zamoskvoretskaya Line).
BY THE WAY
"Rzhevskaya" began to build
Recently, the construction of the Rzhevskaya station of the Big Circle Line of the metro began. The site for the lobby, which will be located in the public garden of Riga Square, is already ready. Rzhevskaya will become one of three deep-laid stations on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line. The other two are Nizhnyaya Maslovka and Sheremetyevskaya.
PLANS
2019 - commissioning of the section from the Petrovsky Park station to Nizhnyaya Maslovka;
2020-2021 - trains will run from the Aviamotornaya station to Rubtsovskaya and from the Khoroshevskaya station to Mnevniki;
2022 - trains will run from Rubtsovskaya to Nizhnyaya Maslovka, from Mnevniki to Nizhegorodskaya. The ring will close completely.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
What is your favorite metro station and why?
Petr SHKUMATOV, public figure:
I have - "Tulskaya". Nearby there are places where you can park your car.
Georgy GORODETSKY, member of the Russian Civil Society:
I am waiting for the opening of the Rasskazovka station, the interior of which will resemble the reading room of a library.
Egor KHOLMOGOROV, philosopher, publicist:
- "Komsomolskaya" - there is an icon of Russian history on the panel - and the station "Salaryevo" - made it easier for me to get out of the region.
Vladimir MAMONTOV, General Director of the radio station "Moscow Speaks":
Once a friend and I sat in a WTO restaurant, and then went to Lenkom for a performance that seemed ridiculous to us. Pushed out for this during the intermission by the ticket attendants, for some reason ended up on the Revolution Square, where they fell asleep on the old benches. We were not taken anywhere or robbed. We rode up the escalator at night and sang: “Everything is good in the world.”
Vyacheslav DANILOV, political scientist:
- "Marxist" and "Ilyich Square" - for being loyal to the revolution! Mayakovskaya - for Deineka.
I love the Vykhino metro station. It was called "Zhdanovskaya", they began to build it in a field where cows grazed. Oh, how many dates have taken place on these windswept platforms!
Maria METLITSKAYA, writer:
My favorites were Novoslobodskaya with colored stained-glass windows, Mayakovskaya with stunning frescoes on the ceiling, and Revolution Square.
