The Gorkovskaya Metro Station in St. Petersburg will change its operating hours starting from October 21st due to the ongoing repairs of an escalator. On weekdays, the station will have restricted access to the vestibule from 08:10 to 09:50 and 17:00 to 19:00. The exact time restrictions may be adjusted based on passenger flow, and commuters are advised to plan their routes in advance.
Commuters can reach nearby metro stations from Gorkovskaya via various bus and tram routes.
An ongoing escalator repair at Ploshchad Vosstaniya Metro Station is the reason behind this schedule change. The repairs are expected to continue until November 26th, 2026. However, the metro station will still remain accessible to passengers during this period.
The temporary closure of the Olga Berggolts School in St. Petersburg and the construction of an administrative building for Severstal by the Hansa Group in Cherepovets are among other news updates.
In order to improve transportation in St. Petersburg, new metro stations are planned to be opened in the future. However, there have been concerns that these plans may only exist on paper.
