The Yekaterinburg City Hall cannot choose a route for the construction of the second metro line.
The Deputy Director of the Transport Department of the Yekaterinburg Administration, Nikolai Vakhlov, stated that the construction of the metro line from Akademichesky to ZBI is a priority for the city hall, but the administration has not yet decided exactly where the second subway line should go.
— There is an officially existing route designed in the 1970s. There is a need to understand where the second metro line should start and end. Before money is allocated and design begins, we need to determine what to design, Vakhlov's words are reported by Ura.Ru.
The idea of constructing a second metro line has existed for many years, but it has not reached practical implementation. Currently, the city hall is considering two main priority directions — from Akademichesky to ZBI, where there is also a high passenger flow. The work is still at the preliminary stage of route selection. It was previously reported that the authorities postponed the construction of the above-ground metro to the airport in Yekaterinburg.
