The line 4 or Prawobereschnaja-line ( Russian Четвёртая линия, Правобережная линия ) of the Saint Petersburg Metro currently connects the city center of the Russian metropolis of St. Petersburg with some eastern districts of the city on the opposite right bank of the Neva . The line owes its second name to this peculiarity (Pravobereschnaja-Linie means something like "right bank line").
The line has eight stations on a route length of a good 11 km, making it the shortest of all five Petersburg subway lines. Until 2009, when parts of the Pravobereschnaja line fell to the newly opened fifth line , it was much longer and led to the north-western outskirts of the city.
history
The oldest section of today's line 4 was put into operation on December 30, 1985. At that time four stations were created between Ploshchad Alexandra Newskowo and Prospekt Bolshevikov . The western terminus of Ploshchad Alexandra Newskowo received a transition to the station of the same name on line 3 , and between this and Krasnogwardeiskaya (the latter was renamed Novocherkasskaya in 1992 ) the tracks of the line cross under the Neva . Close to the Ladoschskaya station , the Ladoga station, one of the city's five main stations, went into operation in 2003 .
On October 1, 1987, the line in the southeast was extended by one station to today's final stop, Uliza Dybenko .
The first extension to the west could not be realized until December 30, 1991. Behind Ploschtschad Alexandra Newskowo the stations Ligowski Prospekt , Dostojewskaja and Sadowaja were created , with which the Pravobereschnaja line now had direct transfer options to the two other lines of the Petersburg Metro.
Between 1997 and 2005 there were further extensions of the line to the west, most recently on April 2, 2005 to Komendantski Prospect . From this point in time until 2009 the line was almost 25 kilometers long and had 13 stations.
With the completion of the first section of line 5 at the end of the 2000s, the management of line 4 was changed. On March 7, 2009, the Spasskaya station was opened in the southern center of Petersburg and was designed as part of the new Sennaya Ploshchad / Sadowaya / Spasskaya junction . With its opening, both the Sadowaya station, which opened in 1991, and the line northwest of it to Komendantski Prospekt were included in the newly opened line 5 (which received the Zvenigorodskaya and Volkovskaya stations completed a few months earlier ). Since then , trains on line 4 coming from Dostoyevskaya have been going to the new Spasskaya station instead of Sadovaya , which will initially remain the terminus.
Planning
Medium-term development plans for the Petersburg Metro provide for line 4 extensions in both directions. A new vehicle depot and the Kudrowo station are to be built behind Ulitsa Dybenko , and the Spasskaya station is no longer to be the terminus - initially the Teatralnaya station is to be in the center of Petersburg , followed by three more underground stations, including the Morskoi Fassad terminus on an artificial embankment the Neva Bay in the area of Vasilyevsky Island . Since these plans have a lower priority than the further expansion of Line 5, none of them should be implemented before 2015.
vehicles
The line does not have its own train depot ; the trains serving them will be parked in the Newskoje depot , which is located south of line 3. All trains on Line 4 are six-way trains from the 81-717 / 714 series manufactured in Petersburg .
