Nizhny Novgorod Cableway, Urban gondola lift in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Nizhny Novgorod Cableway spans 3660 meters across the Volga River, connecting the cities of Nizhny Novgorod and Bor through an aerial transport system.
The construction of this transportation infrastructure began in January 2010, following POMA's project presentation, and officially commenced operations on February 9, 2012.
The cableway represents a shift in Russian urban mobility solutions, introducing aerial transportation as an alternative to traditional ground-based methods in densely populated areas.
With 56 cabins carrying 8 passengers each, the system transports 1000 people per hour in each direction, reducing a two-hour car journey to 12 minutes.
The cable car system incorporates two 82-meter-high masts supporting a 900-meter span across the Volga River, making it among the longest urban gondola installations globally.
