Arched portals appeared on "Rizhskaya"

At the Rizhskaya station of the Big Circle Line (BKL) metro, they began installing the main architectural element of the platform section - metal arched portals.

Monolithic and waterproofing work at the station is nearing completion. The finishing of the platform section is in full swing, where almost half of the total volume - which is 1,454 square meters - has been completed. In addition, the installation of waterproof umbrellas has begun in the upper part of the arch of the station tunnels. The installation of engineering systems continues, and DC voltage will be supplied very soon.

Finishing work is being carried out on a wide front both at the station and in the lobby, as well as in the transfer area to the station of the same name on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line. Already now the individual appearance of the station is emerging, the main element of which will be the arches.
The first of them, made of stainless steel, decorated several portals leading from the central station hall to the side platforms. There will be 16 of them in total - eight on each side. LED lights will be installed on the edges of the arches, emphasizing their elegant shape, and benches will be placed along the pylons for passengers to rest.

The architectural appearance of the new Big Ring metro station is determined by its location next to the Rizhsky railway station. This “neighborhood” gave the designers the idea of ​​using similar elements of the railway station. Metal arches and a decorative digital display create the feeling of temporary portals and an invitation to enter the city.

From Rizhskaya of the Big Circle it will be possible to transfer to the station of the same name on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya metro line and to the stop of the second Moscow Central Diameter. The station, together with Sokolniki and Maryina Roshcha, is part of the northeastern section of the new metro line. Completion of construction is scheduled for this year.
