The monorail site will be replaced by the first year-round high-altitude park in Russia. This idea The Active Citizen project supported more than 71 percent participants of the vote.
The monorail will stop working on June 28. Part of the overpass — from the Vystavochny Tsentr station to the monorail depot, including the Ulitsa Sergeya Eisensteina station — will be dismantled to make the view of the main entrance of VDNKh even more attractive. The park is scheduled to open in 2027.
Today, the monorail has alternatives. These are convenient and fast routes through new metro and MCC stations, as well as tram, bus and electric bus routes – they partially duplicate its route.
After the closure, all monorail system employees will be offered new jobs in other parts of the city’s transport system.
The monorail was built over 20 years ago, but during this time it has not become a full-fledged part of the city’s transport system. A planned inspection revealed the need for major repairs. Today, the monorail is a tourist attraction, its passenger flow is less than two thousand people per day. These are mainly guests of the capital or Muscovites who use it occasionally. For comparison: eight thousand passengers a day travel by cable car on Vorobyovy Gory. Most city residents choose convenient and fast routes through the new metro and MCC stations, as well as trams and buses with electric buses.
The monorail will get a second life in the form of a new park space for residents and guests of the capital. On the territory of 40 thousand square meters, they plan to arrange a running track, alleys, cafes and places for rest. The park will be open around the clock, admission is free. This place will become a new landmark of Moscow. Here you can meet with friends and family, play sports, walk dogs, relax with children.
