Krasnoyarsk Metro Social Media Resumes After Two-Month Silence
The metro project has faced recent public discussion about its ongoing problems.
The official Telegram channel «Krasnoyarsk Metro» has shown where the entrances and exits of future metro stations will be located. The channel had been silent for 2.5 months.
It is reported that all stations are designed with one vestibule:
five underground stations — Vysotnaya, Vokzalnaya, Revolution Square, Karl Marx Street, and Kopylova Street;
one above-ground station — Shakhtyorov Street.
«We will equip them with elevators, ramps, tactile and technical information means for people with health limitations. The length of each station»s platform is 60 meters. In addition, there will be premises for police posts, inspection equipment, and dispatch points,« the Telegram channel reported.
They added that the project received a positive conclusion from Glavgosexpertiza (the Russian state expert review body).
The post from January 28 is the first in «Krasnoyarsk Metro» since November 14. At that time, it was reported that the «Yevgeniya» tunnel boring machine had covered half a kilometer from Vysotnaya towards Kopylova. Previously, the channel consistently published several posts a month.
In December, a conflict among contractors in the metro construction chain in Krasnoyarsk became known. Drivers for the company TD «Angara», which disposes of soil from construction sites, went on strike at Revolution Square. They stated they are owed 45 million rubles (approximately $500,000 at current rates). A sole proprietor contractor for «Angara» in turn spoke of a debt of 18 million rubles (approximately $200,000). He himself owes 11.5 million rubles (approximately $128,000). According to the entrepreneur, due to the debt, a leasing company demanded the return of nine of his 10 trucks.
In December, the general contractor, the company «Mosproekt-3», stated that it transferred money to its subcontractor, the group «BTS-Most». Commenting on the conflict, the client — the Center for Transport Logistics — claimed it pays «Mosproekt-3» for all work on time. A representative of «BTS-Krasnoyarsk,» Vladimir Fedorov, explained to journalists on December 26 that the company lacks «a certain part of the project documentation» and, consequently, «has no work front.» In December, «BTS-Krasnoyarsk» itself complained about payment delays.
