Three stations on the Moscow metro's Dark Blue Line will be closed on Saturday to allow for repair work to be carried out, municipal transport authorities said.
Passengers will be unable to enter or exit the central Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Arbatskaya and Smolenskaya stations all day Saturday, according to an announcement on the Moscow metro's website.
Normal service will resume at 5:30 a.m. Sunday.
The announcement also said passengers will be unable to change trains at those three stations on the Dark Blue Line, also known as the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line.
Trains will continue to run from Kievskaya to Pyatnitskoye Shosse in the west of the city, as well as from Kurskaya to Shchyolkovskaya in the east.
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.
