A new metro station opened Monday. Strogino is the 175th station in the Moscow metro system.
By Anna Malpas
Published: January 11, 2008
A new metro station, Strogino, opened Monday, serving a largely residential area of western Moscow. It is the 175th station in the system, reached on a new section of the dark blue line following Krylatskoye station. The tunnel between the two stations runs at an incline of 45 degrees - close to the maximum possible for a metro line. The simply decorated station was designed by architects Alexander Orlov and Alexander Nekrasov. It has an exceptionally wide granite platform, 12 meters across, with oak benches. The lighting is also much brighter than usual in the metro. The new station will eventually link the center with the suburb of Mitino.
