Sobyanin told about the construction of a pedestrian crossing over the tracks of MCD-1

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, in a publication in his official channel on the domestic MAX platform, said that the Eastern Degunino and Altufievsky district will connect an above-ground pedestrian crossing over the tracks of the first Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-1).

“It will open to residents a short and safe route over the railway with intensive train traffic,” the mayor wrote in his canal.

The head of the Russian capital drew attention to the fact that the length of the corresponding structure will be about 150 meters. He drew attention to the fact that from the Eastern Degunin side, the transition will go to the intersection of Zaryanov Street and Keramic Passage, from the Altufievsky district to the Travel Passage. The mayor said that the stairs will be equipped with elevators.

Sobyanin stressed that even such utilitarian structures are trying to make attractive, and in this case, the images of space stations served as inspiration for the architects. The mayor pointed out that experts chose a radial shape with smooth contours. As the head of the Russian capital noted, as the transition progresses, the prospect will gradually be revealed.

The publication of the Moscow mayor says that the start of construction is scheduled for this year. He said that the work will take place without stopping the movement of trains.

Earlier it became known that in early October, the northern lobby of the Moscow City Station (MGV) of the first Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-1) opened, and now passengers can access the platforms from the Shmitovskaya Passage, and the path to Ermakov Roshcha Street and Antonov-Ovseenko Street became shorter, as a result, transport accessibility of Presnensky and Khoroshevsky districts improved.

The area of the northern lobby and the new platform is 3.4 thousand square meters. Inside is equipped with modern lighting, turnstiles, cash registers, toilet rooms and a dynamic navigation system. There are three elevators and eight escalators. In addition, the lobby is convenient for low-mobility passengers.

From Moscow City MCD-1 you can reach the Belorussky railway station and Sheremetyevo airport, as well as Odintsov. In addition, long-distance trains to Smolensk and Minsk stop at the station.

Today, there are 90 such stations in Moscow, and more than 60% of passengers of the Moscow Central Diameters and the Moscow Central Ring use them. By 2035, the capital will have 125 MGV.
