“Today is a big event, I would say that for the first time in a hundred years, a full-fledged new station is opening, which unites the Kursk direction of the railway, a metro station and the MCC, forming a major transport and interchange hub, enabling those passengers who arrive in Moscow to get faster to destinations ", - quotes him as RIA Novosti.
He also said that this is an important transport hub for the residents of the capital.
It is noted that this will unload one of the most congested sections on the Kalanchevsko-Kursk direction, which will carry more trains.
Belozerov called the launch of the new station a significant day for railways in Russia.
He noted that the station is equipped for the movement of people with limited mobility, has new ticket offices, "new opportunities for the contactless use of all elements", as well as special bactericidal devices that work in order to disinfect escalators.
According to him, special devices for air aromatization were also installed at the station.
Earlier, the Moscow authorities announced that eight metro stations will appear outside the Moscow Ring Road by 2024.
Also FBA "Economics Today" reported that Moscow had approved a construction project near the TPU "Novokhokhlovskaya".
