The Circle Line’s Park Kultury metro station will be closed for repairs from Feb. 5 to December, with trains passing through without stopping, the Moscow metro press service said Sunday, Interfax reported.
The station needs to replace escalators installed in the 1940s, a metro spokesman said.
The station’s technical infrastructure, lobby and platform will also
undergo repairs, although the appearance of the station is to be kept intact, the report said.
Eight more stations — Medvedkovo, VDNKh, Krasniye Vorota, Babushkinskaya, Marxistskaya, Baumanskaya, Novogireyevo and the Circle Line’s Prospekt Mira — face similar repairs soon, the spokesman said, without elaborating.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
