Volkhonka, Metro station project in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia.
Volkhonka is a proposed metro station in Moscow's Khamovniki District, designed by architects Nikolay Shumakov and Alexander Orlov. The station will serve as part of the Moscow metro system expansion, providing direct connections to central areas of the city.
The project continues the steady growth of Moscow's metro network, which first opened in 1935 as the Soviet Union's first subway system. This expansion builds on more than a century of development in the city's transportation infrastructure.
The station sits near the Pushkin Museum and Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, placing travelers close to major Russian cultural institutions. This location merges daily commuting with access to some of the city's most important museums and places of worship.
The station entrance will sit in a well-centered location with walking paths to nearby museums and places of worship. Visitors should check the current status beforehand, as the opening is still in planning phases.
The site sits on what locals call the Golden Mile, an area wedged between Moscow's Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring. This location positions it as a crossroads between two of the city's major circular transport axes.
