2024: Budget loan for 56 billion rubles

In mid-October 2024, it became known that the Krasnoyarsk Territory would receive a budget loan of 56 billion rubles for the construction of the metro. This is stated in an explanatory note to the draft budget of the region for 2025 and the planning period 2026-2027.

In particular, the region's budget provides 42.33 billion rubles for the construction of the first line of the metro tram in 2025, and 14.03 billion rubles in 2026. In addition, 2.7 billion rubles were allocated for the purchase of 15 three-section trams of two-way traffic in 2027.

2023: Metro construction

Specialists Bamtonnelstroy-Most have begun construction of a metro in Krasnoyarsk. The press service of the company announced this on May 15, 2023.

It is planned to erect 17.2 km of underground structures of high-speed ground-underground light rail transport, including distillation tunnels, station complexes and underground structures. At the stopping point "Shakhtar Street," work will be carried out on the removal of engineering networks, and on the section of Molokova Street - on the transfer of a thousand meters of electric cable and communication networks, as well as elements of urban water supply and sewage systems.

Metro construction began in Krasnoyarsk

According to Vladimir Gartig, general director of Bamtonnelstroy-Krasnoyarsk (part of the Bamtonnelstroy-Most Group of Companies), in parallel with this, specialists will begin construction of the starting pit of the Shakhtar Street stopping point, which is necessary for the installation of two tunnel-penetrating mechanized complexes. They "will drill two distillation tunnels" from Shakhtar Street to the Karl Marx stop, Gartig explained.

The first stage of the Krasnoyarsk metro tram line with a length of 10.8 km will include two ground and four underground stations, commissioning is scheduled for 2026. The Mosproekt-3 group of companies will carry out part of the construction of a new rail high-speed transport complex in Krasnoyarsk together with the subcontracting construction organization BTS-Most JSC. At the peak of the work, up to 9 thousand workers and more than 300 machines and mechanisms will be involved.

The metro in Krasnoyarsk began to be built in the 1990s, a total of about 3 km of tunnels were built, but work due to lack of funding was frozen by 2013, and all facilities were mothballed. As NGS24 writes with reference to the Ministry of Construction of the region, maintaining these facilities in an accident-free state, in particular pumping water, cost more than 70 million rubles annually. Already built tunnels will not be involved in the new metrotramway project, the newspaper said.^[1]
