The final stage of work to restore tram service on Trifonovskaya Street is underway in Moscow. Construction of a tram reversal loop has begun on Rizhskaya Square.
The project will include laying more than 400 meters of new tracks on the section of Gilyarovsky Street between Trifonovskaya Street and Rizhskaya Square, and constructing a turnaround loop for trams at the entrance to the Rizhskaya station of the Big Circle Line of the metro. The stop here will provide a convenient transfer to the metro, Moscow Central Diameters and ground transportation. Today, the work to restore the tram line on Trifonovskaya Street is 80 percent complete.
“We are implementing one of the most important projects for the development of tram traffic. The restoration of the line on Trifonovskaya Street will improve transport accessibility for 70 thousand people who live and work in this area. We are expanding the tram network in accordance with the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry
Moscow Metro specialists began restoring the tram line on Trifonovskaya Street in 2024. This section was closed in 1995, and 30 years later, in 2025, trams will return to Rizhskaya Square. The new line will connect the large transport hub Rizhskaya with the Russian University of Transport (MIIT) and key points in the city center.
Development of the Moscow tram network
The tram network in the capital continues to develop actively. In September 2024 a new line has opened on Sergius of Radonezh Street, and in April of this year after a large-scale reconstruction it worked updated depot named after P.L. Apakova on Shabolovka.
The total length of tram tracks in the capital is about 430 kilometers (including depots), with 82 percent of them separated from highways or laid on a separate track. This has reduced delays due to traffic accidents on the tracks and increased the reliability of traffic. The Moscow tram network covers 86 districts – over 5.5 million people live near stops.
There are 35 routes in the city. Passengers make more than 750 thousand trips daily. In the coming years, further expansion of the network is planned, including the construction of a new line on Academician Sakharov Avenue – from Komsomolskaya Square to Chistoprudny Boulevard. This line will create a direct connection between the Three Stations Square and Chistoprudny Boulevard, and will also connect the east of the city with the center, south and southwest with new diametric tram routes.
