As part of the strategic development of Moscow's urban transport network, a significant event took place, strengthening the capital's status as a leading business and transport hub in the country. On this sunny day, under the auspices of the city authorities, a ceremony was held at which Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the opening of the new northern entrance hall at the Moscow-City railway station, part of the large-scale MCD-4 project.
This new infrastructure element is a key link in the creation of a unified, multifunctional transport system, ensuring seamless integration between various modes of urban transport, including the metro, the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), and the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD). It is based on the idea of providing convenient and accessible transport services for the thousands of passengers who arrive daily in Moscow City, Russia's leading business center.
Sergei Sobyanin emphasized the strategic importance of this project for the development of the urban space, where every element of the transport network contributes to the comfort and efficiency of travel for Muscovites and visitors. According to him, "the northern vestibule will not only improve transport accessibility but will also become an important point of contact between residential areas and business activity in the Presnensky District, contributing to a 40% increase in passenger traffic and the creation of a favorable urban environment."
The mayor also outlined plans to expand Moscow City's infrastructure, including the construction of new metro stations, which will further integrate the station complex into the city's transportation network. These actions herald a new stage in the development of the city's infrastructure, where each innovation contributes to improving the quality of life for residents and strengthening Moscow's position as a global business hub.
Situated on the historic site of the former Testovskaya station, Moscow-City Station now occupies a strategic position between Kutuzovskaya and Belorusskaya stations, becoming an important link in the development of urban transport and public space in the capital.
