Tverskaya metro station Zamoskvoretskaya lineThe Moscow subway has a not quite ordinary history, which goes back to the depths of the 1930s, when the future Moscow metro was in the design stage. Plans for laying the lines have been repeatedly reviewed, and so-called "reserve", that is, an empty underground space at the place where the Tverskaya metro station is located today, was created precisely during the laying of the first lines through the densely populated center of Moscow. From the creation of the station at this place in those days had to be abandoned for a number of reasons of a technical nature. We returned to this station only 40 years later.
The metro station "Tverskaya". Features of building technologies
Still, this station was built withThe use of the old reserve at a depth below Pushkin Square. It was commissioned in the summer of 1979 and until 1990 was called "Gorkovskaya". By its constructive type, the metro station "Tverskaya" is a three-vaulted pylon station of deep laying. There are many similar things to it, in architecture there is nothing unusual. But here many engineering solutions for its construction can be called unique. The construction was complicated by the fact that the station was being built on the already operating stretch Mayakovskaya - Teatralnaya. Geological conditions were more than just complex, and urban development in the center of the capital is very dense. These circumstances forced to abandon the construction of a separate shaft and use the existing mine station Pushkinskaya.
Metro station "Tverskaya". Architectural features
The interior of the station is dominated by lightmarble and red granite. Thematic concept of aesthetic design are the works of the Soviet classic Maxim Gorky, whose name the station originally wore. The "sculpture of the revolution" is dedicated to the sculptural composition, which had to be moved from the end of the station, when it became necessary to build a transition to the station "Chekhovskaya". Pushkin Square has a dense historical building, so the station "Tverskaya" has an underground lobby. It is combined with the lobby of the station "Pushkinskaya" Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. From here you can get to the shopping complex "Tverskoi Passage" and to the basement of the editorial complex of "Izvestia".
