Description of lines

Biryulevskaya Line

The line will play an important transit role due to its perspective location in the city, as well as location of Klenovy Bulvar station on the Third Interchange Circuit that will provide residents of the south of Moscow with high-speed offroad connection to the city center and will reduce the traffic burden on the road network, including Varshavskoye and Kashirskoye Highways, and Andropov Avenue.

Total length of the line will be 23 km; it will have 10 stations to increase the accessibility of isolated Biryulevo and Kuryanovo districts. Residents of both existing neighborhoods and a residential area being constructed on the former ZIL territory will be additionally connected to the Kolomenskoye Museum Reserve, and transport accessibility of the Dream Island amusement park that opened in February 2020 will be ensured throughout the whole city. The line may be extended towards Chsherbinka (New Moscow territory) and from ZIL – towards the city center. Planned start of construction: 2021.

The length of the line with 6 stations is 12.78 km. According to estimates, it will be used not only by residents of Khoroshevo-Mnevniki area, but also by residents of Rublevo-Arkhangelskoye area in Kuntsevo district, where construction of a business center and apartment blocks is planned. Up to the present, the Khoroshevo-Mnevniki area had practically no connection with the Moscow metro system: there are no stations within the area, with the exception of the Khoroshevo and Zorge MCC stations located along the eastern border of the area. It should be noted that the need for transport communication generally arises among the area residents living outside the zones of satisfactory transport accessibility to the abovementioned MCC stations.
