Three central stations on the Moscow metro's Purple Line — Pushkinskaya, Kuznetsky Most and Kitai-Gorod — will be closed on Saturday for the tracks to be repaired, the metro said on its website.
The rest of the Purple Line will operate as usual up to those stops, the statement said. Kitai-Gorod's Orange Line section will also be closed but will allow trains to pass through.
The repaired stations will reopen on Sunday at about 5:30 a.m., the statement said, noting that the work is being performed on the weekend so as to affect only a minimal number of passengers.
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.
