The special characteristic of the construction work is requirement for additional support of the structure due to the absence of one wall.

Construction features

The complexity of the construction work at the panoramic station is in vicinity of the Michurinsky prospect. The descending gradient does not allow the construction machinery moving freely, so the pillar cranes were installed, which is rare for the underground construction. Besides, the part of the tunnel was constructed with cut-and-cover method because of the filled soil. It requires a lot of supporting structures and a lot of concrete.

Construction work

At present the construction work continues at the walls of the station and the platform. The specialists construct the mantling pit, where the tunneling of two metro tunnels will start towards the station Ramenka. The right tunnel between Ochakovo and Michurinsky prospect stations has already been completed. The TBM named Tatiana completed 2,804 m tunnel. This is the longest section at the “yellow” line.

How will it look like?

The interior design represents the work achievements of famous Russian biologist and breeder Ivan Michurin. The walls and columns will be decorated with red panels depicting blossoming trees. The theme of the garden in blossom will be also repeated in the halls.

The station will serve as a main transport connection for the part of Ramenka district with the population of about 62 thousand people. At present it takes about half an hour by public transport to get to the nearest metro stations: Prospect Vernadskogo and Universitet. The large transport interchange hub will be constructed near the station as well as the interchange parking. The passengers will be able to change the line for the Third Interchange Ring.
