Metro scheme of St. Petersburg: the future development plan

The metro map of St. Petersburg, it seems,posted everywhere: stations themselves, maps, calendars, memos for tourists and numerous Internet applications. At the moment, the St. Petersburg subway is not as wide and branched as, for example, the capital, so many city residents who use public transport know its scheme by heart. Nevertheless, the subway plans to grow and develop, to which the townspeople have been preparing since 2011. What new stations are planned to open from 2018 to 2025? Will there be new branches of the subway?

By extension, from 2018 to 2021, threelines: Frunzensko-Primorskaya, Pravoberezhnaya and Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya. The metro scheme of St. Petersburg will be replenished with whole sections: "Prospect Glory" - "Shushary" on the violet branch and "Spasskaya" - "Mining Institute" on the orange. Two new stations will be attached to the green branch - Novokrestovskaya and Begovaya will follow each other from Primorskaya.

In the period from 2021 to 2025, severalextremely important changes for the St. Petersburg subway. The first will concern the Right-bank line: the new section "Mining Institute" - "Harbor" metro-builders plan to open in 4-6 years. However, given the unfulfilled plans of the 1990s, it is difficult to fully trust the new promises. Nevertheless, during the same five-year plan, the metro scheme of St. Petersburg is going to expand to the sixth Krasnoselsko-Kalinin, or brown branch. Also, the station "Shuvalovsky Prospekt" (purple branch) and "Planernaya" (green branch) are planned to open.

The development of the St. Petersburg subway after 2025

After 2025 and until 2035 the metro schemeSt. Petersburg, judging by the plans for the moment, will not undergo radical changes. The metro construction project includes the completion of a purple branch to the Kolomyazhskaya station with the same depot, the end of the south-western section of the Krasnoselsko-Kalininskaya line, the extension of the Kirov-Vyborg line from Prospect Veterans to Pulkovo airport and other plans for the coming decade. Will the residents of Piskarevka wait for the opening of the nearest metro station? It is difficult to say unequivocally whether all plans of the metro construction workers will be carried out.

To all other things, conversations about the ring line,like the Moscow, is already the second decade. However, the line will be ready for commissioning under the most optimistic forecasts not earlier than in the 30s of the 21st century.
