Cable Car Planned at Chernigovskaya Embankment in Nizhny Novgorod

The company UrbanTech proposed building a cable car in Nizhny Novgorod to connect Chernigovskaya Embankment with Barminskaya Street in the IT campus area. This decision resulted from a study of the area«s transport accessibility.

Specialists calculated the projected passenger flow and developed an architectural and planning concept. Research showed that the optimal solution for this section would be the construction of a cable car.

«This choice is due to the specifics of the terrain: a developing area with restrictions on building traditional transport arteries requires innovative approaches. A cable car will provide a reliable and eco-friendly link between Chernigovskaya Street and key transport routes without disrupting the existing infrastructure,» noted UrbanTech.

The regional Ministry of Transport supported the project, noting that its implementation aims to develop transport infrastructure and increase connectivity of the developing territories on the right bank of the Oka River.

According to the architectural and planning concept, the cable car stations will be integrated into the existing and planned development. They will be closed circuits with zones for passenger boarding and alighting, fully adapted to the architectural appearance of the area. Currently, the territory planning project is being adjusted.

Plans to build two funiculars on the slope near Chernigovskaya Embankment became known in 2024. In the autumn of that year, documentation for territory planning appeared. The length of the first cable car will be about 257 meters, the second — almost 340 meters.
