Transport problems in remote residential areas of the south-west of the capital have been brewing for years and decades. Attempts to find the most rational way to solve them were made back in Soviet times, but for a variety of reasons, sometimes quite objective, they were constantly postponed to an indefinite future. The question of when the Solntsevo metro station will appear has been relevant for many Muscovites for a long time. Areas such as Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino remained largely cut off and isolated from metropolitan life due to their remoteness. And this gave rise to many social problems for their inhabitants.
Solntsevo metro station on the map of Moscow
Things started from the freezing point only a few years ago. Previously existing metro construction projects have been largely revised and largely edited. And the new project has already been accepted for execution. The Solntsevskaya line of the Moscow Metro is being built at an accelerated pace. And a metro station"Solntsevo" should appear in the Moscow district of the same name around 2016. According to the new design solution, the line under construction will run from Yugo-Zapadnaya station (this is the Sokolnichesky direction) to Novoperedelkino.
In terms of technical and design solutions, this will be the so-called "light metro" of shallow foundation. The starting section of the Solntsevskaya line includes six stations and five hauls between them. Among the new ones will be the Solntsevo metro station, the issue of opening of which has been worrying more than one generation of local residents. It should be noted that the choice of a quick construction option does not mean neglecting the architectural appearance of the new line, which was practiced in the Moscow Metro at the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century, during the period of the struggle against excesses. However, this should not happen with the Solntsevo metro station.
Many stations of the Solntsevskaya line look very modern and expressive when looking at the illustrations for the project. The point now is only for a worthy implementation of design decisions. And if everything goes according to the planned schedule of construction works, then the Solntsevo metro station will receive the first passengers in three years. You will have to go to the Yugo-Zapadnaya station, which will become a transfer hub. Plans for further extension of the light metro line beyond it are still being discussed, and there are development options.several.
Plans and prospects
The administrative expansion of Moscow in the southwest direction, which took place in 2011, implies the provision of vehicles for new territories and residential areas of the capital. The famous Moscow outskirts of Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino cease to be such in the newly opened administrative circumstances. All this makes it very relevant to extend the branch not only beyond the South-West, but also in the opposite direction, towards the new Moscow. However, the complex of issues associated with this is still only under discussion, and this has not yet reached concrete project plans.
