The opening date of the metro station "Kotelniki" in Moscow

"Kotelniki" is the first Moscow metro station located on the territory of the Moscow region. That's why the inhabitants of nearby cities are eagerly awaiting its discovery.

This event will become extremely important for the inhabitants of the Moscow region. Construction has been going on for almost three years. And the date of opening the metro station "Kotelniki" was repeatedly postponed for significant reasons. When do the authorities plan to name the exact time?

History of the station

The decision to build a metro station "Kotelniki" was taken in the spring of 2012. And in the fall the first works began. Responsibility for their timely implementation was assigned to the deputy mayor of the city on urban policy issues.

This subway section belongs to the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line - from the station "Zhulebino" to "Kotelniki". Its total length is about nine hundred meters, and the station itself is about 374 meters. The length of the turnover deadlocks is approximately 246 meters.

Construction is of great importance due to the fact that this is the first Moscow metro station located on the territory of the Moscow region. That is why the residents of nearby settlements are so worried about the question of when the date for the opening of the Kotelniki metro station is expected. The answer to it can be obtained by following the progress of the construction.

Start of construction works at the station "Kotelniki"

So, the construction of the "Kotelnikov" began in the autumn of 2012. Then they brought in the necessary equipment and prepared the territory. At the beginning of winter, work began on the construction of turnaround deadlocks and the station itself. It is interesting that the work was conducted in an open manner. This is due to the fact that the station complex is not very deep. The expected date for the opening of the metro station "Kotelniki" was planned for the last months of 2013. But due to some circumstances revealed during the construction process, it was postponed.

Work continued until the end of the autumn of 2013. During this time, the builders managed to complete the penetration of both tunnels. However, in November the work was almost completely completed. Almost all equipment and personnel were removed from the facility. On it there was only protection. Then the question of when they will open the metro station "Kotelniki", again became urgent for the residents.

Resumption of construction

By the end of the winter of the following year, some of the works were resumed. The construction of the station complex itself and turnover deadlocks continued until August. And by the end of the year most of the work was completed. The interior decoration of the premises and the installation of a ventilation and video surveillance system began. A new opening date for the Kotelniki metro station was approximately appointed. It was planned to be held in the spring of 2015. However, due to the failure to fulfill the deadlines, the new metro station Kotelniki has not started operating. The opening, the date of which was assigned first to March, and then to May, had to be rescheduled.

All this time the construction continued. By the end of this spring, the finishing work was completed . Concerned residents of the area again interested in the metro station "Kotelniki" (opening). The latest news reported that it remained only to agree on all the necessary documents.

Why did you postpone the deadlines?

As already mentioned, construction times have shifted repeatedly. Therefore, the date of opening the metro station "Kotelniki" was transferred more than once. What was the reason for this? The first postponement of the terms was connected with the problems that arose due to the owners of the nearby land. Because of these difficulties, the opening of the metro station "Kotelniki" was postponed until mid-2015.

In the course of the work there were always different opinions about the timing of the completion of the construction. In particular, it was said that it could be completed by the end of 2014. However, this solemn date was again postponed. This time, the reason for this was the failure to meet the deadlines for construction.

Final Opening Date

The exact and, probably, the final date of the opening of the metro station "Kotelniki" - on August 9 this year. It is planned to coincide with the builder's holiday, celebrated on that day. As the authorities and residents expect, from now on the station "Kotelniki" will work in full force. And now the process of finalizing the latest documents is under way. The station itself is already fully operational.

Now on the line run test trains without passengers. All this shows that the Kotelniki metro station will really start operating soon. The opening, the date of which according to plans will not be postponed, will become one of the most long-awaited events for residents of the nearest residential areas.

Architectural features of the station

The station "Kotelniki" is located at a depth of about 15 meters. It is reported that her style will represent the main traditions of the Stalin Empire. This is, first of all, a straight ceiling and rounded columns. As far as the design is concerned, it is similar to the neighboring Zhulebino station. From bright colors the architects refused, replacing them with cleaner and quieter ones. So, the walls are decorated with a grayish-yellow marble with elements of copper shades. The floor is decorated with red granite.

The station is equipped with two underground halls, each of which will have two exits. East will be located on both sides of Novoryazanskoye highway, where it is planned to build a transport and transfer junction.

Not far from the station there will be built parking for cars and public transport with a capacity of about two hundred seats.

Equipment and machinery

But the townspeople are not only interested in the Kotelniki metro station itself (the opening). The latest news generously reports on technological innovations and modern equipment, which will be installed here. In particular, we are talking about the newest energy-saving escalators. Seven such models were purchased for the station. It is reported that if there are not enough passengers, the device will automatically slow down its work, and if they are not available for a considerable length of time, the escalator will stop altogether. The new devices combine an increased level of safety and a long service life of up to 50 years.

To make the station "Kotelniki" as comfortable as possible for people with disabilities and the elderly, it will be equipped with spacious elevators. And the steps located at the entrance of the metro are equipped with a heating function. Thus, the station will provide the most comfortable conditions for all passengers.

Further construction

The station is also remarkable for the fact that one of its exits is located within the capital, and the other - in the territory of the Moscow region of Kotelniki, near the Experimental Field. After its surrender, the authorities intend to build the Rumyantsevo and Salarievo stations on nearby lands. And when they open the metro station "Kotelniki" in Moscow, it is planned to create a transport and transfer hub for a number of buses plying in distant directions. It will be located between the station and Novoryazanskoye highway.

The station "Kotelniki" is well located - not far from residential areas. Its opening will allow the authorities to refuse some ground transportation flights. Thus, when the "Kotelniki" metro station is opened, the situation in the streets will be considerably relieved. And the citizens will be able to enjoy cleaner air and a convenient and fast way of transportation. Now residents of the areas located near the station will be able to get to the center of Moscow for about half an hour faster than in the minibus.

So, will the Kotelniki metro station soon start working? When is the discovery? The news is quite good - very soon. And residents of the surrounding areas can only hope that the promised date will be final.
