The Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya metro line in Moscow (or the orange metro line in the common people) is among the first to be built in this city. Its stations are located on the line connecting the northeastern districts of the city of Sviblovo and Medkovo with the center, VDNH and southwestern parts of the city, such as Yasenevo, Cheryomushki and Konkovo.
History of the creation of the Kaluga-Rizhskaya line
The orange metro line in Moscow was first mentioned in 1958, when the Riga radius was created. It connected the city center with the VSHV and had a length of 5400 meters in total.
In 1962, the Kaluga radius was put into operation, which included transport routes from the city center to the southwestern sleeping areas. The Kaluga radius at that time had a length of about 9000 meters and had only 5 stations. The features of its construction are the construction of stations with the help of open pits. And the distillation tunnels were built using the shield tunneling technique due to complex geologicalconditions. Later, in 1964, the Kaluga radius was extended southward to reach the new depot.
A full-fledged orange metro line was created in 1970, when engineers adopted a project to create a central line that would connect the Kaluga and Riga radii into a single branch. This was marked by the opening of new stations, such as Tretyakovskaya, Sukharevskaya, Turgenevskaya, and the creation of transitions to other lines. The central line came into operation in 1972. 1978 was marked by the extension of the railway lines to the north to the Medvedkovo station. The length of the branch has increased by 8100 meters. The stations were commissioned late due to the beginning of the political and economic crisis in the 80s of the 20th century.
Modern times
In the city of Moscow, the orange metro line today requires regular repairs and maintenance. This especially affected the stations of the Kaluga radius, since the tiled lining has already exhausted its service life. As a replacement in 2004, the walls of the Akademicheskaya station were sheathed in anodized aluminum, and the track walls were sheathed in black granite.
In addition, there were also changes in the operation of this line due to emergencies. The attacks on the Kaluga-Rizhskaya line began in 1998, when an unknown device harmed three people. In addition, the age of the structure also affects. So, in 2013, the residents of Moscow were pretty frightened by a failure in the electrical wiring at the Shabolovskaya station, which manifested itself in the form of a strongsmoke.
But despite all the hardships, the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line continues to function in full. Today it is the orange metro line.
Travel time
The orange line of the metro, due to its length and workload (the average number of citizens who use this line is about 1,000,000 people), has the longest time to reach the end station. It will take you about 55 minutes to get from Medvedkovo to Novoyasenevskaya (end stations).
The total length of the branch is 37.6 km. It includes 24 stations.
Prospects for development
Engineers of the Russian Federation developed the document "Orange Metro Line: Stations", according to which in 2020 it was planned to expand the line to Chelobityevo station. But the government rejected this project. In addition, the plans include the construction of the Yakimanka station, which will become a transitional link between the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya lines. It was planned to work on the project from 1996 to 2000, but the deadlines were postponed, now delivery is planned for 2025. However, the government has not yet determined the exact timing of when the orange branch of the meter will be updated. Stations remain unchanged for now.

Sokolnicheskaya metro line crosses almost all other branches, and therefore is one of the most important city arteries. It is at its stations that almost all significant objects of Moscow are located - the main university, Red Square, Gorky Park, etc. What is it today, and what will happen to it in the future?
Filyovskaya line of the Moscow metro
For a long time, the Filevskaya line was the main transport artery in the west of the capital. However, a few years ago, part of it was given to the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya branch, which was extended to the northwest. So is there a need to develop the land-based Filevskaya line?

The master plan for the development of Moscow's high-speed transport has been defined until 2025 and involves not only the extension of existing routes, but also the laying of new lines. One of them will pass through the Eastern district of the capital. The scheme of the Kozhukhovskaya metro line so far has only eight stations, but in the long term it should be part of a branch of the third ring radius of the capital
Moscow Metro Circle Line
The circle metro line in the capital is familiar to everyone who has visited Moscow at least once. The metro is the easiest and most popular way to get to the desired address in the capital. Marked in laconic brown on the diagrams, the “ring” line has become the fifth branch of the Moscow subway. Its first sections were launched in 1950, and the project was fully completed only in 1988. It was then that at Novoslobodskaya a passage was opened to the station next to it - Mendeleevskaya&qu
