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.

“We are currently in the process of obtaining all the permits required by law and handing over the construction sites to the contractor. After that, construction work will begin,” the statement said.
The city administration emphasized that the construction of the subway will not only solve transportation problems, but will also provide residents of the Podil district with “round-the-clock reliable shelters.”

After a long break, the construction of the subway to Vynohradar has been resumed in Kiev.
As the head of the Kyiv subway Viktor Brahinsky said on the air of TSN, the contractor has resumed the construction of a new subway station in Kyiv – Vinohradar: first the consolidation of already built tunnels will be completed, and then will begin construction of the second tunnel from Mostitskaya station to Syrets station.
According to Brahinsky, there is no clear timeline for the completion of the work yet, because the pace of construction is affected by the current situation in the country.
“Of course, the pace of construction is affected by the current situation, because construction crews and everyone involved in the construction during the air alert must be safe. In addition, the unstable power supply slows down the work process. But despite the difficulties arising from the war, the Kiev city authorities and the subway are making every effort to ensure that this project will continue,” – said the head of the subway.
Previously, the capital authorities had promised the citizens to open the first station at the end of 2021, but it did not meet the deadline, and then the war began. According to the previously published project, the Kyiv subway is going to build four new stations from “Syrets” terminus: “Mostitskaya”, “Prospekt Pravda”, “Vinogradar” and “Marshala Grechko Street”.
The Kiev subway has resumed normal traffic after the missile attack on Kiev and a prolonged air alert, the city’s mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.
“At some underground stations, where a lot of people have gathered, passenger disembarkation is resumed gradually,” Klitschko wrote in his Telegram Channel on Tuesday.
According to him, due to the accumulation of people at subway stations that worked as a shelter, the “red line” subway trains ran from the station “Akademgorodok” to the station “Arsenalnaya”, but the disembarkation of passengers beyond the station “Polytechnic Institute” was not made.
In turn, the “green line” of subway plied from “Syrets” station to “Druzhby Narodiv” station, as well as from “Osokorki” to “Krasniy Khutor. The “blue line” of the subway was running in normal mode.
“Now the subway is gradually resuming traffic in the normal mode,” summed up the mayor.
The introduction of 4G communication in subway is the issue of the national scale, it is possible to implement the project in due time, according to participants in a meeting devoted to the launch of 4G communication in Kyiv’s subway held by the Kyiv City Council with representatives of the Kyiv City Administration, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Verkhovna Rada, municipal enterprises, mobile communications operators and Internet associations.
“The introduction of 4G communication in subway is a national issue. The law must be implemented. There are legal processes that must be followed. If we combine the efforts of all participants in this process, the project will be implemented within the announced time frame,” advisor to the Mayor of Kyiv Maksym Bakhmatov said.
According to him, now all important technical aspects have been agreed with the subway, and the operators have provided the required technical documentation.
“Operators have already imported the first consignments of special equipment for building a network into the country and are waiting for legal grounds to begin installation work in the subway. The full-fledged implementation of the investment project depends on making a decision by the Kyiv City Council on the fee for telecom access to municipal property,” Corporate & Regulatory Affairs Director at Kyivstar Oleksandr Kogut.
According to the plan, the launch of 4G communications at the first subway stations, namely Akademmistechko, Zhytomyrska, Sviatoshyn, Syrets, Dorohozhychi, Heroiv Dnipra, Minska and Obolon, is expected in March 2020. Until the beginning of 2021, high-speed mobile communications should work at all stations and tunnels of the Kyiv subway.
