Nizhny Novgorod rail station’s reconstruction is scheduled to begin in May 2017, with completion planned for March 2018. The total area of under reconstruction will be more than 10,000 square metres. All the station’s engineering systems are being modernised, the platforms are being reconstructed and the buildings are being redeveloped.
The design for the station’s reconstruction takes into account all modern requirements. Special attention has been paid to safety standards and accessibility of the railway facility for all categories of citizens. To achieve this, new equipment will be installed, including X-ray inspection machines and state-of-the-art video surveillance cameras, as well as ramps and lifts for passengers with disabilities.
In the main hall, a shopping gallery will be built around a balcony and escalators and elevators for low-mobility passengers installed. The ground floor of the main hall will be expanded and the waiting areas made more comfortable.
The station’s projected capacity is 5,100 passengers.
