Tunnels between Pochayna and Tarasa Shevchenko undeground stations to be repaired due to subsidence.
The condition of the tunnels between the Pochayna and Tarasa Shevchenko stations
Mykola Povoroznyk, the deputy head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (CMA), told the Ekonomichna Pravda news source that the tunnels will undergo scheduled repairs.
It is a matter of timely inspection, timely repair and maintenance. There are no serious problems, assured Povoroznyk.
According to the Kyiv underground management, train traffic will not stop completely. The section is likely to have alternating shuttle traffic through one tunnel.
We will stop traffic in one tunnel, not two at the same time. This is a matter of organising work in the field of passenger traffic. There will be temporary passages and a different traffic management scheme. Trains will not turn around anywhere, they will pass this section one by one through one tunnel, Povoroznyk said.
This traffic pattern will provide a longer interval for train arrivals. At the same time, Kyivpastrans, a municipal company that operates public transport in Kyiv, is organising additional ground transport routes.
Work is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2024.
Shutting down of underground stations in Kyiv
On 8 December, the CSA announced the suspension of train traffic on the section between the Lybidska and Demiivska underground stations of the Obolonsko-Teremkivska underground line.
The reason was the depressurisation of the tunnel and the appearance of cracks in its walls, which led to the flooding of the tunnel.
The repair of the stations will last six months. For now, trains on the Blue Line will only run between Heroiv Dnipra and Lybidska stations.
On 13 December, police searched the buildings of the Kyivskyi Metropoliten, a city-owned company that operates the Kyiv Metro [Kyiv Underground] transit system.
Metrobud, a construction company obtaining a leading position in the Ukrainian underground construction market, was subjected to a police raid and structural units of the city-state administration.
The searches were carried out within the framework of criminal proceedings under the qualification of "official negligence" (Part 2 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The investigation plans to check for miscalculations in the underground section's design, construction and operation.
