Where is the station Khoroshevskaya. Khoroshevskaya metro station
On the eve of the new year 1973, one of the two unusual Moscow metro stations, Polezhaevskaya, opened in Moscow. It had 3 tracks, but unlike Partizanskaya (formerly Izmailovsky Park), this was an unusual project to create a forklift. Part of the trains of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line was supposed to go under Marshal Zhukov Avenue. To the delight of Muscovites, the Soviet project was not implemented. Instead, a second station appeared next to Polezhaevskaya.
Khoroshevskaya is a typical modern station, which in the future will take over most of Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, but for now let's talk about it as part of the current metro system.
1. Khoroshevskaya station was built parallel to Polezhaevskaya station. Slightly shifted relative to it, but the exits are located in the same place. West on the corner of Khoroshevsky highway and Kuusinen street, east on the corner of Khoroshevsky highway and 4th Magistralnaya street. 
2. Since the main task was to create a new interchange hub, we had to design the interchange in difficult conditions. Neighboring Polezhaevskaya has three tracks and narrow platforms. For many years, only one platform was used there, but when one of the lobbies was closed, for security reasons, a second platform had to be opened and passenger flows divided on the platforms. 
3. There were several ideas for connecting stations. Through the passages in the center of the hall, as they usually do transplants, they did not dare to do it here. But there were suggestions. An interesting idea was to remake the tunnel of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line into the center for the train to arrive on a different track. So it would be possible to eliminate the middle path and make a transition in its place. Didn't decide either. 
4. As a result, we stopped at a transfer through the lobbies, creating two passages at both ends of the station. It turned out not very convenient, but quite understandable and quite economical. The idea can not be called ideal, but it has a place to be. 
5. Let's digress a bit since we're in the lobby. Crowd of metrofans and ticket collectors on the first day. 
6. An interesting solution was chosen for navigation about the transition. I have already met dissatisfied people on transport forums, but there is something in this. If you carefully read my text, you understand that there are passages in both vestibules. At the same time, on the signs of the new station, the transition is written only in one direction. What is the reason? Let's go back to Polezhaevskaya (at this pace I need to do the next report about it!) And its narrow platforms. Since no one expanded the exits, 4 passenger flows should fit into the narrow list on the platform: those entering from the street, leaving the street, moving to the new station and moving from the new station. The solution with signs in one direction only will send passengers on a transfer to different corridors and, accordingly, slightly lighten the load. 
7. So don't look at the four escalators of the Khorosheska exit. The bottleneck is not on it. 
8. It's time to move on to the design and architectural appearance of the new station. Khoroshovskaya greets us with abstract figures on the ceiling above the escalators. I would understand this as part of the actual design, but on the platform I see... 
9. ... the sister of Petrovsky Park, CSKA and Shelepikha. A columned three-span station at a depth of 21 meters with an island platform and completely without abstract figures. Column three-span black and white with a stone in the color of the interchange line - purple. 
10. Despite the named purple color of marble, the situation here is similar to Petrovsky Park. There is also green, but it seems different. Here the color in my opinion is red-brown with a very large addition of black. Perhaps my lens considered the color that way, but the eye sees about the same thing. 
11. Black and white with red-brown and steel structure escalators look very nice together. The exit angle looks even better than the station itself. 
12. And she herself lacks something. At Petrovsky Park in the center there is a transition, at CSKA there are statues, at Shelepikha bright yellow shades distract the eye. And here? But I will say that it is still pleasing to the eye. It's a very nice stone. 
13. The prospects for Khoroshovskaya are very interesting. Today it is a station on the Bolshaya Koltsevoi and Solntsevskaya Lines. Solntsevskaya will separate in the future. And Khoroshevskaya will become for some time a fork for traffic to the Business Center and towards Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street. For this, the groundwork has already been left. The construction sites for this extension of the Bolshaya Koltso are already under construction, while the houses for the construction of the metro are being demolished. 
14. It will be possible to travel from here to Ramenki and further to Rasskazova until the completion of the construction of the west of the new ring road. It could go further, but common sense is already waking up here. If fork traffic with 2 directions is normal for Moscow, then with three directions it will create a lot of problems. The metro will be ready to issue a train schedule for three directions, but everyone will lose from this. Downtown will get even fewer trains - maybe. Street of the People's Militia and Mnevniki will receive few trains - perhaps. And Ramenki, Ochakovo, Solntsevo, Novoperedelkino and Rasskazovka will create an apocalypse in their area. An interval of 6 minutes at peak times is uncomfortable. 
15. It is now half-empty trains here, and at the end of the year they will be very well filled. 
16. For me personally, this station has also become very convenient. I will use it in the future too. 
17. By the way, a life hack for transferring to the MCC. Polezhaevskaya-Khoroshevo transfer is not the most convenient. Officially, 8 minutes, in reality, 2 stops by trolley bus, which only in the case of an instant arrival of ground transport is reduced to 4-5 minutes. In winter and in the rain even longer. You can get to the Shelepikha station, comfortably and very quickly go to the MCC and get to the Khoroshevo MCC. You won’t win in time, but you won’t lose either, but it’s comfortable. 
18. My verdict on the station is good! And yours? 
Do you like the station or not?
Thanks for attention! Stay in touch!

Today, the pace of construction of the Moscow Metro is striking in its scope! Currently, more than 30 stations are being built simultaneously in Moscow. The first section of the Third Interchange Circuit, 10.5 km long and consisting of five stations, one of which will be Khoroshevskaya, will open for passengers soon. On September 8, 2017, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin conducted a technical launch of the first section of the Third Metro Interchange Circuit.
The Khoroshevskaya station will be located on the Third Interchange Circuit between the Shelepikha and CSKA stations. The station will become part of a large transport interchange hub, it will interchange to the Polezhaevskaya station of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, and the Khoroshovo station of the Moscow Central Ring is also located near it. "Khoroshevskaya" is located just south of the Khoroshevskoye highway (from which it got its name), parallel to the existing station "Polezhaevskaya".
"The biggest difficulty was the water-saturated soils at Khoroshovskaya and at Petrovsky Park," said the project manager of Ingeocom Association JSC Maxim Polamorchuk. - We had to constantly pump out the rising water at the Khoroshevskaya construction site.
"Initially, the stations were designed in a deep foundation, but a consortium of designers and builders found a more effective proposal for the construction of the section," continued Maxim Polamorchuk. - As a result of new design solutions, the "landing" of stations on the map itself has changed. We had to build open pits and already fill them with technology."
"The construction of stations in the open way turned out to be easier for builders. And also more economically profitable for the city, investing in the development of the capital's infrastructure. Difficulties began with the Khoroshevskaya excavation. After adjusting the project, it ended up on abandoned railway tracks. Nearby were warehouses and a water storage facility for Mosvodokanal ". The city had to negotiate for a short time to vacate the site. Nevertheless, agreements were reached, and Khoroshevskaya was built.
The report was created with the support of "Center for Career Guidance of the Moscow Metro".
The project of the station was developed by a group of architects led by M.Yu. Orlov.
Stone and aluminum are used in the decoration of the station.
The columns are lined with Rosso Levanto stone in dark cherry color. A grid of light veins and inclusions of marble create a saturated unique pattern.
This stone was chosen for facing the columns not by chance. The architectural appearance of all stations of the first launch site of the TPK is made in the same style. And the color scheme of the design of the interchange stations corresponds to the color of the line to which the transfer will be carried out from the station (for example, at Petrovsky Park, the columns are green).
The track walls are lined with Mansurovsky and Shimanovsky granite interspersed with Rosso Levanto.
The ceiling is made of white reflective panels that visually increase the volume of the station.
The name of the station is made of letters made of granite.
By design, the station is a columned shallow station, with two rows of columns. The width of the platform is 12 meters, the pitch of the columns is 9 meters.
The construction of the station is being carried out by SMU Engeocom.

Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Planning Policy and Construction Marat Khusnullin, the timing of the opening of new stations and plans until 2021.
The stations of the starting section of the Third Interchange Circuit of the metro - Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshevskaya, Shelepikha and Delovoy Tsentr - will be opened for passengers before the end of the year.
By this time, construction will also be completed on the new section of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya to Seligerskaya. The traffic in this segment is planned to be launched in early 2018.
The new terminus of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line, Khovrino, is in a high degree of readiness. Read more about the new station in our material.
New ring
The length of the new ring will be 66.7 km, 31 stations will be located on it. The ring branch will intersect 17 times with existing radial lines, with seven stations of the radial directions of the Moscow railway and two stations of the Moscow central ring.

The third interchange circuit will run at a distance of about 10 kilometers from the Metro Circle Line. The northern part of the new circuit from the Nizhegorodskaya Ulitsa station to the Shelepikha station will run within the MCC, while the southern part will pass through the areas behind the MCC stations.
It is assumed that thanks to the new ring, passengers will be able to get from one point of the city to another faster and save 20 to 30 minutes on the trip.
The first five stations of the new ring "Business Center", "Shelepikha", "Khoroshevskaya", "CSKA" and "Petrovsky Park" will open at the end of this year. Next year, the following stations are scheduled to open: Rubtsovskaya, Lefortovo, Aviamotornaya, Nizhnyaya Maslovka, as well as People's Militia Street and Nizhniye Mnevniki to the west of Khoroshevskaya station. And a year later, trains will go from Nizhnyaya Maslovka to the Rubtsovskaya station with stops: Sheremetyevskaya, Rzhevskaya, Stromynka, and Rubtsovskaya.

The Khoroshevskaya station will be located along the Khoroshevskoye Highway, adjacent to Kuusinen Street and 4th Magistralnaya Street. The eastern lobby will be decorated with art compositions based on paintings by Kazimir Malevich and his followers - Rodchenko, Popova and Ekster. "Khoroshevskaya" will be the second Moscow metro station in the name of which will be the letter "e". The first station with the letter "ё" was the station "Troparevo" on the Sokolnicheskaya line, opened on December 8, 2014. "Khoroshevskaya" will be connected with the station "Polezhaevskaya" of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line.

Work on the "CSKA" will be completed in the autumn, the metro builders promise. The station at a depth of 30 meters will be decorated in the traditional colors of the Moscow football club CSKA - blue and red. The arches will be decorated with paintings dedicated to various sports, and bronze sculptures of a skier, basketball player, hockey player and football player about five meters high will be installed on the platform. The coat of arms of CSKA will be embossed on the pedestals of the sculptures.
The southern vestibule of the station opens onto the Khodynskoye Pole park, which is currently under construction, and the northern vestibule to the Megasport Sports Palace. The station should unload other metro stations: "Polezhaevskaya", "Sokol" and "Airport". Presumably, up to 120 thousand people will use it per day, 12 thousand people at rush hour. If you wish, you can transfer from CSKA to the Zorge MCC station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to it, but they plan to create a convenient pedestrian passage.

The Petrovsky Park station will appear near the reconstructed Dynamo stadium. The station will have two exits on both sides of Leningradsky Prospekt and a transition to the Dynamo station. The color background of the station will be white and green. The walls will be covered with marble, and the floor will be laid with granite. Two rows of columns will be installed on the platform. The station will be able to receive 240,000 passengers daily, and during peak hours, 24,000 people per hour will pass through it.
The second section of the third interchange circuit, 12 kilometers long, will include the following stations: Nizhnyaya Maslovka, Sheremetyevskaya, Rzhevskaya, Stromynka, Rubtsovskaya, Lefortovo, Aviamotornaya. In 2018, trains will be launched with stops at the stations: Rubtsovskaya, Lefortovo, Aviamotornaya, Nizhegorodskaya, and the Nizhnyaya Maslovka station will also be opened. And a year later, the stations "Sheremetyevskaya", "Rzhevskaya", "Stromynka". Thus, by 2019, the second section of the TPK from Nizhnaya Maslovka to Nizhegorodskaya will be fully commissioned.
The southeastern part of the contour will occupy a section 11.5 kilometers long. Four more stations will be located between Kashirskaya and Nizhegorodskaya: Klenovy Boulevard, Nagatinsky Zaton, Pechatniki and Tekstilshchiki. The site will start next to the Kashirskaya station under the territory of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.
The tunnels will pass under Kolomenskaya Street, cross the Moskva River, and then stretch under Guryanov Street to the operating station "Pechatniki" of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line. Then, crossing the Kursk direction of the Moscow Railway, a section of the second metro ring will come to the Tekstilshchiki station of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. Further, the line runs along Lyublinskaya and Gazgoldernaya streets with access to Ryazansky prospect to the Nizhegorodskaya street station. The estimated load of the stations will be from 55 to 360 thousand people per day.
The last section of the large ring from the station "Kakhovskaya" to "Mnevniki" will include the stations: "Terekhovo", "Mozhaiskaya", "Davydkovo", "Aminyevskoye Highway", "Michurinskiy Prospekt", "Vernadskogo Prospekt", "Novatorov Street", "Vorontsovskaya" ". The construction of the stations is planned to start in 2019.

By the end of the year, the metro builders have promised to put into operation three stations on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line: Okruzhnaya, Verkhnie Likhobory and Seligerskaya, located on the section from Petrovsko-Razumovskaya to Seligerskaya. The head of the construction department refused to name the exact date of the launch of the 6.1-kilometer segment for passengers, indicating only an approximate time - the end of the year.
At the same time, we can expect the opening of seven stations of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya branch: Michurinsky Prospekt, Ochakovo, Govorovo, Solntsevo, Borovskoye Highway, Novoperedelkino, Rasskazovka.
pink branch
The Kozhukhovskaya line of the Moscow metro will receive its first passengers at the end of 2018. Its length will be more than 17 kilometers. Nine stations will be built on the line: Aviamotornaya, Nizhegorodskaya Street, Stakhanovskaya, Okskaya Street, Yugo-Vostochnaya, Kosino, Dmitrievksogo Street, Lyuberetskaya, and Nekrasovka. On the metro map, the new radial line will be marked in pink.
The Moscow metro has been operating since May 15, 1935. During this time, it has acquired stories, legends and fiction. Did Stalin go down the subway during the war, does the subway have abandoned stations, and is it true that the Circle Line was built according to the imprint of a cup of coffee on the map of Moscow? About all this, the director of the folk museum of the Moscow metro Konstantin Cherkassky.
DO NOT CONFUSE THE PLATFORMS
I travel to the Dynamo metro station from Skhodnenskaya, so the newly opened section of the large circle line and the Petrovsky Park station halved the time of my underground journey. Now you do not need to go to the center and then back, 20 minutes instead of 40. However, on the first couple of trips, when moving from Polezhaevskaya to Khoroshevskaya and back, I had to, I confess, wander. As it turned out, not only I had problems with navigation here. Let's try to figure them out.
First of all, the “Polezhaevskaya” - “Khoroshevskaya” node has two features that can greatly confuse those who have come here for the first time. The first feature: there are two platforms on Polezhaevskaya, if you go to the center, get off on one, if you go back, that one on the second. And when you enter the station, you need to understand which platform to go down to: it depends on which direction you will go. Behind the turnstiles of "Polezhaevskaya" there are traditional signs on this occasion. But when moving from Khoroshevskaya, they are not. At least if you go to the lobby that is closer to the area.
When on the day of the opening of the line I rushed right on the wings along the transition, this circumstance made me stand up, as if rooted to the spot. Below, on the platforms, there is a list of stations, orienting on them, I continued on my way. But you will not see those lists right away, and they are far away, people with poor eyesight are unlikely to see.
The second feature is that you can switch from Polezhaevskaya to Khoroshevskaya and back in both lobbies. At least from the first car, at least from the last - get out and move to the nearest escalator. Cool, yeah? But...
Here is a girl standing at the escalator and asking everyone if there is a transition here. She arrived in the first carriage from the region. Came out, but not a single sign. Those whom she asked only shrugged their shoulders, well, people didn’t have time to figure it out ... The girl is already going to go to the other end of the station, I stop her and reveal the secret.
Probably, this shortcoming will be eliminated soon. But so far, there is only one crossing sign on the platform where the trains following to the center stop. It is located above the vestibule stairs closer to the area: the passengers of the last car have a chance to get their bearings right away, the rest, like this girl, will have to tell fortunes.
STAND IN A COLUMN OF TWO
On the next platform - the one where the trains from the center moor, there are crossing signs. However, for some reason, the arrows point only in one direction - to the lobby closer to the center. Let's imagine: you and I are traveling from the center in the first carriage. We get off at Polezhaevskaya: we look at the sign and, obeying the arrow, weave through the entire station in order to switch to a new line. Let's imagine that we need to get into the first car there: we again go through the entire station, wipe off the sweat and drive on. And this despite the fact that in fact we had to stand on the nearest escalator, go up, and then go down. And that's all.
On "Khoroshevskaya", as it turned out, the same story. No matter which car we are traveling in, we are offered to move to the crossing in only one direction: to the lobby, which is closer to the region. On the very first day I fell for this bait: I arrived at Khoroshevskaya in the last car and, obeying the signs, passed both stations along the entire length.
Why is it done this way? I understood this when I realized that the arrows imply movement in a circle: if we move from Khoroshevskaya to Polezhaevskaya, then we must go to the lobby that is closer to the region, and in the opposite direction if we move in the opposite direction. It turns out that the developers of this ingenious navigation system just wanted us to move in the same direction and not collide foreheads. Well, pensioners who unknowingly have to bypass these stations will be especially grateful.
