St. Petersburg metro expands from year to year. Stations are opened and designed, covering completely new areas of the city. Less than half a century has passed, and new names have appeared on the metro scheme that delight residents of this amazingly beautiful city: "Mezhdunarodnaya", "Bucharest", "Zamshina", "Rzhevka", "Ligovo", "Kosygina Ave." and others. It would seem that the Zvenigorodskaya, Parnas, Komendantsky Prospekt, Volkovskaya, Spasskaya, Admiralteyskaya and Obvodny Canal stations have recently been opened and are already operating. And the Bucharest metro station is already in operation.
A little about St. Petersburg
The city of St. Petersburg is the most important economic, cultural and scientific center of Russia, as well as the largest transport hub. This is one of the most important tourism centers of the Russian Federation.
The magnificent city is famous for the Hermitage, the Russian National Library, the Mariinsky Theater, the Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Maly Drama Theater , etc. The construction of the metro plays an important role in attracting tourist flows to the Northern capital of Russia.
History
Two stations - "Bucharest" and "International" - these are two large-scale long-term construction. They began to build them in 1994, but due to the lack of sufficient funding, all work was suspended and frozen for a while. Construction was resumed only in 2005. They returned to the implementation of the project when the principle of saving changed a lot, and the initial draft of the project was fundamentally changed.
Bucharest metro station (St. Petersburg): origin of the name
The type of this object is a pylon, similar to Volkovskaya and Obvodny Canal. The station is named after the street of the same name - Bucharest, on which its lobby is located. Initially, other names were proposed: “University of Trade Unions”, “Metrostroevskaya” and “Catherine”. However, in agreement with experts, the governor approved the current name.
Bucharest metro station - deep-laid. They planned to build it with a single-vault before 2007, but due to financial difficulties, the pylon version of the station was still chosen. Also, the type (in 2004) of the withdrawal of this line to the surface after the Volkovskaya station was previously chosen, but subsequently abandoned this.
We opened the Bucharest metro station (as well as Mezhdunarodnaya) in December 2012. Thanks to the experience and talent of architects, it is original and modern.
The ground lobbies of both stations are located in malls on the ground floors.
Location
The station is located on the 5th Frunzensko-Primorsky direction between the "International" and "Volkovskaya". This southern part of the city is the intersection of Bucharest and Salov Streets, approximately 6,700 meters in a southeastern direction from Palace Square.
It is located between the "Volkovskaya" and the "International" stations. This site was built for about 20 years. Throughout the period of inactivity (from the 90s), due to the lack of financing, the production remained in a trouble-free state.
Now all this is behind. Leaving the metro station in the city, passengers get to the streets of Bucharest and Salov.
Very close by:
• Humanitarian University of Trade Unions.
• College (motor and electromechanical).
• STSI number 7.
• Hotel complex SPbGUP.
Description
This station is the 66th in the St. Petersburg metro.
Metro "Bucharest" - an underground station located at a 65-meter depth.
The entrance to it is a lobby built into the Continent shopping center. It was created according to the project of M. Yu. Martynova, D.A. Boytsov, O. V. Ryazantseva. All pylons and walls are faced with snow-white marble. Floors from polished granite mined in the Russian field. At the very end of the Bukharestskaya metro station, a decorative panel (smalt) “Autumn in the Park” was installed, which was made by the artist A. K. Bystrov at the Russian Academy of Arts.
In modern design, various types of mosaics were widely used. A patterned frieze is presented along the eaves. In the lobby, as well as in the end of the apron hall, a panel is also installed, but with Romanian motifs.
Central hall
Central Hall Bucharest metro is illuminated by chandeliers of original shape and cornice lamps. Aprons have only cornice lighting.
The entire floor is made of granite (gray) with gabbro inserts, and the walls are gray marble. The pylons in front of the arches are decorated with insets of the original profile made of red marble. A frieze with a mottled (plant) mosaic pattern runs along the cornices, and the end of the south central nave is decorated with mosaic panels (work by A.K. Bystrov's workshop). Four escalators are located at the north end of the station.
Conclusion
New projects, construction of new modern stations have been outlined, which will improve the lives of people, will attract a larger flow of tourists to this amazingly beautiful and wonderful city - St. Petersburg.
