In Krasnoyarsk, construction of the first metro-tram line continues, the project of which is being implemented with the involvement of infrastructure budget loans. Specialists have begun tunnel boring works on the section from the Vysotnaya station to the Ulitsa Kopilova stop, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
"The development of public transport infrastructure is of great importance for dynamically growing cities – it increases the mobility of residents, improves the environment and creates the basis for further economic development. Thanks to the decisions of the President, an important project for the region is being implemented in Krasnoyarsk – the construction of a metro tram line. Specialists are actively working on the excavation of different sections of the future line. Now they have started the next stage – the excavation of the left transfer tunnel from the Vysotnaya station to the Ulitsa Kopilova stop using the Evgeniya shield with a total length of more than 83 m and a weight of 592 tons. In general, the new line will optimize passenger flow, reduce travel time and reduce the load on the road network. I am confident that this project will give a powerful impetus to the comprehensive development of the city," said Marat Khusnullin.
The tunnel boring machine will have to dig a tunnel at a depth of 10 to 49 m and a length of 2.64 km.
Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territory Development Fund, the operator of the infrastructure budget loan program, reported that the total length of the metrotram line at the first stage is 11 km. "There will be six stopping points on the line of the first stage: Vysotnaya, Kopilova Street, Vokzalnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Karla Marksa Street and Shakhterov Street. The infrastructure budget loan mechanism will help improve the connection between different areas of the city, and accordingly, significantly increase convenience for local residents and visitors to the city," Vasily Kupyzin emphasized.
Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov noted that the construction of the metrotram in Krasnoyarsk is a key infrastructure project for improving the transport situation in the capital of the region. "At the first stage, the metrotram will connect public transport in four districts of the city into a single network. Subsequently, it is planned to extend the metrotram to more remote districts of Krasnoyarsk for fast, safe and comfortable travel for city residents. The launch of the metrotram will also improve the environmental situation in Krasnoyarsk. The construction of the first stage of the metrotram is a key project in the framework of Krasnoyarsk's preparation for its 400th anniversary, which the easternmost city with a million people will celebrate in 2028," said Mikhail Kotyukov.
The general contractor for the construction of the first stage of the line is Mosproekt-3 Group of Companies, and the subcontractor is the Bamtonnelstroy-Most Group of Companies.
