Moscow's 186th metro station will open to passengers Thursday in the far eastern outskirts of the city, Interfax reported.
The Novokosino stop will come right after Novogireyevo on the yellow Kalininskaya line.
The underground platform boasts a gray and black color scheme, while a large parking lot is to be built outside the station for commuters to park their cars.
Construction on the station was supposed to start in late 2008 but only got under way in mid-2009 because of a lack of funds.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
