The new tram line from Prazhskaya metro station will have nine stops

The new tram line from the Prazhskaya metro station, which will connect Biryulyovo and Chertanovo districts, will include nine stops, as was announced by the Chief Architect of Moscow, the first deputy chairman of the Moskomarkhitektura, Sergey Kuznetsov.

The tram line will connect Krasnogo Mayaka Street, Prazhskaya metro station, Kirovogradskaya Street and Varshavskoe Highway. Along Podolskikh Kursantov Street it will go through Biryulyovo West area and the northern part of Biryulyovo East.

“The line will have eight ground-level stops and one on a utility bridge. Their design is approved by the Moskomarkhitektura. As Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said earlier, the new tram route will provide better transportation for residents of several districts, and will become a quicker access to the metro”, - said Kuznetsov.

The Krasnogo Mayaka stop will be located on the corner of the street, between buildings 8 and 10, in the direction of Chertanovskaya Street.
