Nizhny Novgorod Metro

Nizhny Novgorod Metro is a growing rapid-transit system that serves the city of Nizhny Novgorod. It was opened in 1985 and consists now of two lines, 13 stations, and is 15 kilometres long. Formerly, in the times of the city of Gorky (1932-1990), Nizhny Novgorod Metro was know as Gorky Metro. Initially Gorky Metro connected Main Train Station Gorky-Moskovsky to the major Lower City districts (Kanavinsky, Leninsky, and Avtozavodsky). Due to slow development caused by financing difficulties Nizhny Novgorod Metro still serves only the Lower City of Nizhny Novgorod.

Traffic intervals: 10-15 minutes (normally), 5-6 minutes (at rush-hours), 15-20 minutes (in late evening)

Nizhny Novgorod Metro Today

Today Nizhny Novgorod is awaiting for completion of the project about the Lower City and the Upper City connection that should significantly change Nizhny Novgorod Metro predestination. Nizhny Novgorod Metro Bridge over the Oka river has been recently finished. That is a double-deck bridge with a motor car level. Nizhny Novgorod Metro Bridge will extend Nizhny Novgorod Metro to the Upper City of Nizhny Novgorod connecting Moskovskaya Station (the Lower City) to Gorkovskaya Station (the Upper City) that is currently under construction.

Nizhny Novgorod Metro Specialities

Nowadays Moskovskaya Station is only one transfer station in Nizhny Novgorod Metro. Both Avtozavodksya Line and Sormovskaya Line work in a one line way: Avtozavodskaya Line trains arriving to Moskovskaya Station then go to Sormovskaya Line stations and vice versa. Only two of the four tracks in Moskovskaya Station are in regular use so it works as a single station. Nizhny Novgorod Metro lines are going to be separated in future as Yarmarka Station and Gorkovskaya Station are fully completed and opened.

Nizhny Novgorod Metro stations are underground except one (Burevestnik Station). All stations are shallow level designs. Moskovskaya Station is a former USSR unique pillar-fivespan, Chkalovskaya, Leninskaya, Park Kultury, and Kanaviskaya are standard single-vaults, and the rest are standard pillar-trispans. Burevestnik Station is a surface station with side-platform layout.

Nizhny Novgorod Metro Depot is located between Proletarskaya Station and Avtozavodksya station. There is the gate to the surface railway net in Depot that is used internally and is not intended for public transportation.
