Moscow Metro is constantly being completed. Almost every year, new stations open. The list under construction is quite extensive. For 2018, it is planned to open seven platforms only on the Solntsevskaya line. The article will discuss where one of them will be located, namely: Ochakovo metro station. When did the construction begin? What is located near the station, which will be opened in 2018?
Construction
Exploration work was carried out in 2013. However, construction was suspended at an early stage. Work did not resume until the beginning of 2015. But in the summer, metro builders sank the left and right tunnels. In just two years, the construction process in the territory where the Ochakovo metro station will be located has been completed. At the very beginning of 2017, finishing work began. So, where will the Ochakovo metro station be located?
Location
Exits from the new underground platform will be carried out on Ozernaya street. It belongs to the Ochakovo-Matveevskoe district, which borders Troparevo-Nikulino. Ochakovo metro station will be located near Michurinsky Prospekt. The train route will run along this street.
Ochakovo-Matveevskoe
This area was founded not so long ago - in 1997. Earlier there were two settlements, the names of which formed the modern name. Also at the place where it will soon open, to the delight of local residents, the Ochakovo metro station, once there were villages Amilievo, Volynskoye and Troekurovo.
The area in which the new platform will be located has an interesting history. The first information about the settlements on its territory dates back to the twelfth century. The largest village for several centuries passed into the possession of one nobleman to another. Ultimately, it went to the poet Mikhail Kheraskov, who organized here a kind of literary and theatrical corner. However, in 1812 the village was destroyed by the French. At the beginning of the twentieth century a state farm was organized here, a brick factory was opened.
The Ochakovo-Matveevskoye district cannot be called one of the most comfortable in Moscow. There are many shabby structures. Spot construction is underway. About three hundred enterprises operate on its territory. Among them is the Ochakov Beverage Factory. In the Ochakovo-Matveevskoye area there are also several kindergartens, about ten schools and one of the oldest Moscow state universities - MGUESI.
The future metro station Ochakovo will be located in a rather densely populated municipality. Today, more than one hundred thousand people live here.
