The morning suspension of traffic on the Big Circle Line of the metro occurred due to damage to the tunnel during illegal construction work on the surface, the press service of the department of transport of the capital reports.
“Due to the lack of construction control, without coordination with the Moscow Metro, the Donstroy company organized drilling work on the metro tunnel between the Michurinsky Prospekt and Aminevskaya stations. The drilling machine drilled a hole, which led to the release of clay and sand on the path, ”the department said in a statement.
As a result, the movement of trains along the inner side of the ring from the Novatorskaya station to the Aminevskaya station had to be suspended. Metro staff examined the tunnel, cleaned and restored. Compensatory routes were organized for passengers. Currently, traffic on this section of the BCL has been fully restored.
The construction of the tunnel was suspended by the decision of the Moscow State Construction Supervision Authority. The metro management turned to the regional departments of the TFR and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for an audit and possible initiation of a criminal case.
