Metro stations of St. Petersburg city authorities took up close

The Metropolitan of St. Petersburg is the second in the Russian Federation in terms of construction time (1955) and in magnitude. St Petersburg metro stations in the amount of 67 pieces are located on 5 lines, the total length of which is 113.6 kilometers.

The deepest in the world

The metro of the Northern capital is on the first place according to the average depth of the station. It is 57 meters, while the deepest station - "Admiralteyskaya" - is at the level of 102 meters. Absolutely all the stations of the two lines - the Right-Bank and Frunzensko-Primorskaya - are just such. St Petersburg metro stations in the amount of 60 out of a total of 67 are located at a depth below the average (57 meters). Only three are located at shallow depth, and they are all three-span columns. Four ground stations are covered. One of these under the name "Dachnoe" refers to forever closed. She worked from 1966 to 1977, when the trains became shestvagononnymi. The length of the platform did not allow them to be taken.

The longest platform

There is a closed-type station in the metro with the longest apron, which has St. Petersburg, - the metro station "Moskovskaya". The platform stretches under the entire Moscow area and has exits on both its sides - from the Pulkovskoye highway and from the city center. The station is interesting because it does not have a ground lobby. Passengers get into the subway through the ticket offices. "Moscow" has 52 doors, on an equal number on each side of the square. November 11, 2015, the station was closed for an hour in the afternoon due to an orphaned woman's bag, forgotten by someone on the bench.

The equipment of the St. Petersburg subway

The metropolitan of St. Petersburg is the closest to the north in our country. Parnas is the most northern metro station in the whole of the Russian Federation. This system of express extra-traffic traffic has 73 lobbies, 856 turnstiles, 255 escalators, 5 operational depots and one repair depot. St Petersburg metro stations are interchangeable. There are 7 such nodes in the metro of St. Petersburg - 6 two-station and 1 three-station. The station "Sadovaya" is an integral part of the only three-station interchange node in the Northern capital - "Spasskaya" - "Sennaya Ploshchad" - "Sadovaya".

"Ladoga"

One of the deep-lying stations is the metro station Ladozhskaya. St. Petersburg around the world is known and dear life, laid in a blockade on the ice of Lake Ladoga. But the station is named after the planned Ladoga station, as it was understood that its ground pavilion would become part of this station. But the construction of the latter was delayed, and the vestibule was erected as a stand-alone structure. However, the interior design of the station is dedicated to the Road of Life. There is "Ladozhskaya" (Right-Bank Line) at a depth of 61 meters, so the escalator delivering passengers moves for 2 minutes and 20 seconds. People coming out of the metro get to the Ladoga station, as well as to the Karl Faberge square , Bolshaya Yablonovka and Zanevsky avenue. In the future, the construction of the Ladoga-2 station is planned.

Different types of stations

St Petersburg metro stations of deep laying differ in their design. They are single-vaulted (such in the subway St. Petersburg 15), pylons (17), column (18) and closed stations (10). The longest is the transfer between the two metro stations of St. Petersburg - "Alexander Nevsky Square" and "Elizarovskaya", equal to 4 kilometers. The shortest - between the "Technological Institute" and "Pushkin", it is equal to 800 meters. There are also cross-platform stations in the St. Petersburg metro - the Technological Institute and Sportivnaya. They are characterized by the possibility of switching to another line on the same platform.

«Bypass channel»

In recent years in both capitals of the RF there is an intensive construction of the underground. The metro stations of St. Petersburg under construction are located in all parts of the city. These include the Obvodnaya Canal, located on Ligovsky Prospect, in house 153. On the first floor of this building there is a lobby of the station - the entrance is located on Ligovsky Prospekt, and the exit leads to the Obvodnoy Canal. It is planned that by 2017 this station will be a transfer to the new Krasnoselsko-Kalininskaya line and that the station "Obvodnoy channel-2" will be built near the bus station.

Objects for the championship

The new station belongs to the Admiralteyskaya station, the grand opening of which took place on December 28, 2011 and marked the end of the largest long-term construction in the history of the St. Petersburg metro. The next new metro station of St. Petersburg - "Spasskaya" - was commissioned on November 7, 2013. The stations "Bucharest", "International", "Prospect Glory", "Dunayskaya", "Shushary" and the lobby of the station "Sportivnaya-2" - these objects are planned to be introduced by 2018. Also, according to the plans for the development of the metropolitan of the Northern Capital, until 2018 it is planned to open a section of the Right-Bank Line (4th) from "Spassky" to "Mining Institute". Between them will be located "Theatrical".

Implementation of ambitious plans

Will be extended and the third line of the subway St. Petersburg - Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya - from the station "Primorskaya" to "Begovaya". In 2020, the construction of the 6th subway line of St. Petersburg is planned. And by 2025, along with a significant extension of the existing lines (the "red" branch will extend up to Pulkovo), it is planned to put into operation a ring line, the construction of which has been suspended since 1980. Separately, it should be noted that only in the northern capital there is a tunnel going to the new station "Shushary" (Frunzensky radius), in which there will be two ways. This completely new project for the Metro of the Russian Federation, costing the city 30 million euros, is tentatively called "Hope".
