Transportation authorities in Moscow remind public about specific station limitations on May 9th.
Keep Calm and Celebrate: A Guide to Navigating Moscow's Victory Day Traffic and Metro Restrictions
Looking to join the triumphant throngs marching down Moscow's streets this Victory Day, May 9? Brace yourself, because the city is about to get a whole lot tougher to traverse!
Get ready to dodge the roadblocks, because major arteries like Tverskaya Street, Novy Arbat, and Sadovoye Koltso (Garden Ring) will be slammed shut by the early hours of the celebration. The restrictions start cracking down from 5 a.m., so best to grab a snooze before the party gets started.
Now, you might wonder – what about the metro? Won't a subterranean escape route whisk you safely to your destination? Well, kind of. The Department of Transport has bravely declared that a select number of stations will be spared the Cinderella treatment, with Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya, Alexandrovsky Sad, Borovitskaya, and Arbatskaya on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line remaining open for entry and transfers. Biblioteka imeni Lenina, on the other hand, will be purely for transfers, ensuring you're never far from your fellow commuter.
But hey, don't panic! The Metro police might slap some situational restrictions on Mayakovskaya, Pushkinskaya, Tverskaya, Chekhovskaya, Lubyanka, and Kitay-gorod, upon request. Think of it as an invitation to practice your subterranean parkour skills!
As if that wasn't enough, pedestrian crossings will also get a workover, creating a navigational minefield in the heart of the city. So don't get too caught up in the festivities and remember to look both ways before crossing the street!
And hey, if you were worried about getting stranded in a crowded metro station, fear not! Your fellow Russians had the same concern, and so 'Moslift' has flatly denied reports of a metro-wide elevator ban, leaving you free to ride the escalators to your heart's content!
