Avtostrada Group of Companies has resumed construction of the subway to the Vynohradar residential area in Kyiv, its press service has reported.
According to the press release, the construction of the Syrets-Pechersk (“green”) line is underway from the Syrets station. In total, the construction of two stations is planned – Mostytska and Prospekt Pravdy.
The section from Syrets station to Mostytska station will be laid in a closed way – by tunneling, and from Mostytska to Pravdy Avenue – in an open way.
The total length of the construction (from Syrets station to Pravdy Prospekt) is 3.78 km.
Atostrada continues construction of a two-tiered rectangular monolithic tunnel on the Mostytska – Pravdy Prospekt section. This design is due to the specifics of the infrastructure of a densely built-up residential area. A pit is being developed and a support system is being installed for further tunnel construction. A PVC membrane waterproofing system is being installed in the concrete areas left by the previous contractor, which can be restored even after the facility is commissioned. As noted, such waterproofing was used during the construction of a section of the tunnel between Lybidska and Demiivska metro stations. The finished sections of the tunnel are being backfilled with soil.
The facility includes six construction sites. Preparatory work is underway at other construction sites.
As the press service emphasizes, Avtostrada started the construction of the metro line to Vynohradar using its own working capital, without advances.
As reported, in August 2024, the Kyiv Metro utility company signed an agreement to continue construction of the Syretsko-Pecherska line in the direction of the Vynohradar residential area. The winner of the tender was Avtostrada Group LLC. The term of the works is set at 30 months and their cost is UAH 13 billion 785 million. The procurement was conducted on the Prozorro electronic public procurement platform.
According to the Kyiv City State Administration, the right turnaround tunnel has already been built with a length of almost 1,250 meters from Mostytska station to Syrets station. In addition, the construction of the main structures of the distillation ventilation unit has been completed. The wall-in-soil method of enclosing structures and the metal structures for the pit have also been partially installed. The main structures of the combined traction substation were constructed, and two-tier tunnels were partially constructed.
In December 2023, Kyiv Metro terminated the contract with Kyivmetrobud JSC in court due to the failure to meet the deadlines for construction work. The court is considering the recovery of a part of the prepayment, the use of which is not confirmed by the relevant acts of work performed, as well as penalties.
