Avtozavodskaya Line (Russian:Автозаво́дская) is a line of theNizhny Novgorod Metro and bears the abbreviation M1. The line opened in 1985 and crosses the city on a northwest-southeast axis. It comprises 11 stations and 15.1 km (9.4 mi) of track and is thus about four times as long as theLine 2 (M2). The train stationMoskovskaya is the second station, which does not cross, but only touches.

The construction of the line began on December 17, 1977. On this day, the first piles were driven into the base of the stationLeninskaya. A commemorative sign was erected on the site of the construction (letterM in the tunnel). In September 1978 tunneling began from the station Leninskaya. July 13, 1984 in the pit of the station Moskovskaya collapsed walls. Two workers from the student brigade, who helped with the construction of the metro, died. There is a legend that the ghosts of dead students are still walking through tunnels and metro stations.^[1]

November 20, 1985, the grand opening of the Line 1 of the Gorky Metro was held. The launch complex of the first section included a 7.8 km long line with six stations:Moskovskaya,Chkalovskaya,Leninskaya,Zarechnaya,Dvigatel Revolyutsii andProletarskaya; Depot and engineering building. In 1987, two more stations were opened -Avtozavodskaya andKomsomolskaya from the Proletarskaya station, and in 1989 -Kirovskaya andPark Kultury. November 4, 2012, theGorkovskaya station of the Line 1 in the Upper City was opened.^[2]
