Template:Future public transportation Template:Kupchinsko-Primorskaya Line The Frunzensko-Primorskaya Line (Template:Lang-ru) is a future fifth line of the Saint Petersburg Metro system. Presently part of the future line is served by the Pravoberezhnaya Line, but in December 2008 it is due to separate.
History
In 1980 a new general plan for the development of Leningrad metro was adopted, and two axis where given priority, one that would connect the south-eastern right-bank districts, and then cross the city centre on an east-west axis, and the second on a northwest southeast axis, both connecting large residential massifs, previously served only by buses, trolley buses and trams.
To accelerate access to the metro, it was decided to superimpose the two projects, and first have line 4 cross the centre and continue northeast (Primorsky radius), and only then for the line to divide and the southeastern Frunzensky radius would follow the Bukharestskaya street all the way to the city's southern borders. The project was to be completed by the start of the new century. However the financial problems following the Collapse of the Soviet Union, left the metro construction almost bankrupt, plus a significant amount of funds had to be allocated following the 1995 flood of the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line.
Thus following the 1990 opening of Sadovaya, the first stage of the Primorsky radius was inaugurated in 1997 (Sportivnaya and Chkalovskaya), and the line reached the Primorsky district only in 1999 with the stations Krestovsky Ostrov and Staraya Derevnya. Furthermore to conserved funds, the station Admiralteyskaya was left out. The final extension came in 2005 with the station Komendatsky Prospekt, still operated by line 4. Construction in the southeastern direction began in early 1990s, but was constantly halted, fully resuming only circa 2004.
Present project
At present, on 1st December, 2008, the line will officially appear, when stations north of Sadovaya will separate from line 4. The new Frunzensky radius will be started by two stations: Zvenigorodskaya and Volkovskaya. In early 2010, they will be joined by two stations completed on existing track: Admiralteyskaya and Obvodny Kanal. In 2011 they will be followed by further two stations: Bukharestskaya and Mezhdunarodnaya. The project will be completed in 2012 will the Prospekt Slavy station, which will be a shallow-level station, afterwards three more stations are planned: Dunayskaya, Balkanskaya and Yuzhnaya to be introduced by 2015, followed by a depot.
On the northern end of the line, three stations are planned: Dolgoozernaya and Kolomyazhskaya, also followed by a new depot. Thus once completed the line will have 18 stations, and will be in excess of 25 kilometres long.
