Russian President Vladimir Putin officially opened the Moscow citys Big Circle Line on Wednesday, though he surprisingly elected to do so via video link rather than going to the ceremony in person.Calling the brand-new line a much-needed project for the city, Putin praised Muscovites and homeowners of the Moscow area, on the opening of the huge task, according to news firm RIA Novosti.
The line has actually become the worlds largest underground subway ring, Putin said, including that he meant to take the Chinese delegation to see the line throughout the upcoming go to of Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Moscow.The opening ceremony, which was held at the Sokolniki metro station, was attended personally by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and some of the countless employees who participated in the lines construction.Earlier on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the building and construction of the brand-new city line had been a massive task.
The Big Circle Line task, which cost some $6.6 billion to develop, is among the biggest infrastructure jobs in Russia in recent years.
With a length of 70 kilometers and boasting 31 new metro stations, the Big Circle Line is expected to transfer 3.3 million individuals day-to-day and enormously lower overcrowding on the citys inner metro ring.
