Nizhegorodskaya[2] is a station on theNekrasovskaya line and theBolshaya Koltsevaya line of theMoscow Metro. The station was opened on 27 March 2020.[3]
Initially, the station operated as part of the Nekrasovskaya line with direct service fromNekrasovka toAviamotornaya. Once the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line opened, Nekrasovskaya trains began to terminate here with across-platform interchange to that line.[4]
The station is named for the street on which it is situated.Nizhegorodskaya Street, in turn, is named for the city ofNizhny Novgorod andNizhegorodsky Station, which was built in 1861 and closed in the 1950s.[5] Curiously,Nizhny Novgorod Metro has a station calledMoskovskaya (lit.Moscow Station), which has a very similar two-platform layout to that of Nizhegorodskaya.
