Krasnoyarsk Metrotram

[1] In 1983, at a meeting of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, a decision was made to build a subway in Krasnoyarsk.

By 2003, the shaft was driven to the design depth of 71.2 meters, the entire complex of temporary buildings and structures was erected on the surface, necessary for driving near-shaft workings and ferry tunnels.

[3] At the section of the shaft, mining and tunneling works were carried out to construct a pumping chamber and a bypass adit.

By September 2007, more than 2,100 meters of direct running tunnels had been completed, not counting the approach workings and shafts.

[5] In January 2012, Governor Kuznetsov announced the continuation of the construction of the metro and the reactivation of mine workings.

[9] On April 26, 2019, the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Alexander Uss, announced that the construction of the metro would be prepared for the summer of 2020.

[14] In 2022 Oleg Mitvol was arrested on suspicion of theft of more than 900 million roubles during the construction of the metro in Krasnoyarsk.

[15] In summer 2022, a decision was made to complete the Krasnoyarsk metro tunnels and modernise the above-ground sections for the launch of the high-speed tramway.

[16][17] On 10 August 2022, the regional government signed contracts for a set of design, construction and installation works to create a high-speed underground light rail line in Krasnoyarsk.
