Moscow's Metro's Line 16 section to open soon

The first section of Line 16 will include four stations, with General Tyuleneva station being a key addition.  

 

When the stations opens it will offer its expected 21,000 passengers reduced travel times, reduced congestion at neighbouring stations and better connectivity.  

 

'The opening of the station will revolutionise transportation for over 133,000 residents in Teply Stan, providing them with fast and comfortable travel options.' said Maksim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor for Transport Moscow. 

 

The construction of Line 17 continues with the installation of the Lily tunnel boring machine. The machine will be used to excavate twin tunnels which will stretch under the Moscow River. 

 

This will be the third metro line for which Lily has been employed, having already worked on the Nekrasovskaya and Big Circle Lines. The use of this advanced technology ensures efficient and timely construction of the Line 17, which will further enhance Moscow's already extensive metro network.
