The ground metro project in Yekaterinburg has been put on hold.
The construction of the ground metro line in the Novokoltsovsky microdistrict is being postponed. This was reported by the head of Yekaterinburg, Alexey Orlov, who emphasized that the delay is due to objective reasons; however, the authorities do not intend to abandon the implementation of the project. The portal 66.RU writes.
According to the mayor, the development of railway communication remains one of the priorities for the Yekaterinburg agglomeration. In the future, such routes should connect the regional center with satellite cities.
— Three years ago, we considered ground metro as the main type of public transport. Colleagues from Russian Railways said that such a concept does not exist.
Preparation for the implementation of the project has been actively underway since 2023. Construction was planned to begin in 2025, but the project did not make it into the investment program of Russian Railways, which is why the deadlines had to be postponed.
The authorities of Berezovsky are exploring options to improve transport communication with Yekaterinburg.
