Metrostroy of the Northern Capital announced a tender for the development of working documentation for the continuation of the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya line. At the same time, it became known how the new metro stations “Yahtennaya” and “Zoopark” will look like.
Now we are talking about technical solutions for the future Bogatyrskaya station (previous project names: Yacht, Touristskaya) in the Primorsky district. We are talking about the creation of schemes for reinforced concrete lining of tunnels and drawings for the organization of driving. It is also required to provide a project for fixing the walls (using the “wall in the ground” technology) of the pit at the ends of the future “Yachtennaya”, prepare a master plan for the construction site and determine the sequence of construction and installation works. Completion of the process is scheduled for mid-May 2023.

Now the first stage of the extension of the green line from Begovaya to Zoopark (Planernaya) station is underway. The length of the developed section of the Nevsko-Vasileostrovskaya branch will be about three kilometers. The metro builders will carry out the main work at a depth of 10 to 38 meters.
At Yachtnaya, a pavilion for descent will be made on the surface. The Zoo station will also have an external entrance, but it will be a transfer station with a purple line.
Exits from Yachtenna will be on both sides of Touristskaya Street at the intersection with Bogatyrsky Prospekt. And the Zoo (Planernaya) will be located at the intersection of Komendantsky and Shuvalovsky prospects. It will become an interchange with a purple line in the future.

At the moment, the maximum cost of the project is estimated at 91 million rubles.
