Moscow is a huge metropolis, systematically developing and expanding. Together with the capital, the surrounding area is growing. As a result, the load on transport increases many times. Residents of the Moscow region have to spend a lot of time to get to the white stone. To solve the problem, the Moscow leadership plans to build a ground metro in Zheleznodorozhny, Nakhabino, Kryukovo, Odintsovo, Domodedovo, Podolsk, Lyubertsy and Pushkino.
A bit of history
Railway became a city of regional subordination in 1960. It was founded in the 19th century after the opening of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod railway. Even then, in Kuchino (now a microdistrict of the city), a brick factory and the Aerodynamic Institute functioned. A little later the factory opened. During the Soviet period, the city of Zheleznodorozhny continued to grow. His industry developed at an accelerated pace. So, a research institute, a woodworking plant, and a car repair plant were built. Now, construction is underway in the city, infrastructure is developing. The number of inhabitants at the moment reaches over 140 thousand people. Under such conditions, the metro in Zheleznodorozhny became vital.
Advantages and disadvantages of the underground metro
Having considered all the possible options, the leadership of the capital decided to build a subway in Zheleznodorozhny and other cities of the Moscow Region. It will be terrestrial, or, as they say, light. This type of transport has a number of undeniable advantages, the main of which is the price. On average, about $ 80 million is needed to lay 1 km of an underground tunnel. While for 1 km of the underground metro - only 15-20 million. During the construction of the underground metro there is no need to create drainage and ventilation systems, eliminate quicksand. But in terms of convenience for passengers, the surface metro is in no way inferior to the underground. Unfortunately, the light metro also has drawbacks. During the construction period, this is noise, dirt, deterioration in the capacity of existing vehicles. But people are ready to endure all the inconvenience if only the metro in Zheleznodorozhny appears. They are not even afraid of changes in the train schedule and an increase in traffic jams during the construction period.
Is the metro in Zheleznodorozhny really necessary?
The center of Zheleznodorozhny is considered to be of the same name. D. station. The distance from it to the Moscow Ring Road is about 10 km. It seems to be close, but motorists are tormented. The width of the carriageway here is 7 meters, two-way traffic. It is clear that overtaking in such conditions is difficult. On this site you will not surprise anyone with traffic jams. Both accidents and pedestrian accidents happen. The situation worsens even more in the spring and summer, when the summer season begins. Several minibuses run from the capital to Zheleznodorozhny from the metro Shchelkovskaya, Novogireevo, Vykhino and Izmailovsky Park. 36 pairs of electric trains and 14 pairs of high-speed trains “run” from the Kursk station. Interval of movement no more than 20 minutes. In a good situation, you can “rush” to the capital in about 25 minutes. During rush hours this time increases by two to three times. All this creates considerable difficulties for the residents of Zheleznodorozhny.
What has already been done
Those in power have a great desire to implement the project of a ground metro in the suburbs, for which it is planned to allocate 236 billion rubles. For this money 125 km will be laid. d. cloths, 50 new stations were built. Passenger traffic by the end of construction will reach 825 million people. The one who thinks that new routes will be laid to create the metro in Zheleznodorozhny, Moscow Region is mistaken. Rails are planned to be laid along existing railways. e. ways that in some areas have already begun. Also, in Zheleznodorozhny, a land plot has already been allocated where a depot and a reversal circle of wagons will be built. The terms have not yet changed, and it is planned to commission the light metro in Zheleznodorozhny by the end of 2015.
What will be the Moscow ground metro
By all standards, it will be convenient. Now 211 units of parking lots are being designed so that passengers can leave their vehicles and transfer to subway cars. For greater convenience, it is also planned to build 75 interchange nodes, 30 of which will be built next to the railway. d. stations, 2 near the metro Kotelniki and Chelobitevo, 43 near the bus stations. Trains will run at intervals of no more than 4-5 minutes, and so on. e. there were no endless traffic jams; 57 overpasses will be built. They plan to purchase electric trains with heating, and the stations will be equipped with toilets and various automatic machines, for example, coffee vending machines.
Will they succeed or fail?
Although the construction the metro in Zheleznodorozhny has already begun, many doubt that it will be delivered on time. In Kryukovo, for example, they planned to open the metro in 2014, but Marat Khusnullin, the deputy mayor of the capital for construction, made the assumption that the work could finally be completed only in 2015. Also with the metro line in the Belarusian direction. But do not be upset, the subway will still be. Specialists are already forecasting an increase in the pace of housing construction in Zheleznodorozhny. True, real estate prices will increase by about 20%. But it will be convenient for citizens to get to any district of Moscow. It is pleasant to note that the cost of a ticket in a light metro, according to the deputy chairman of Ivanov, will not be higher than in a regular metro.
