Russian media: Krasnoyarsk Metro will be built by Chinese companies!

A Chinese tunnel boring machine will appear in the deepest section.

On May 18, the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published an article.

A metro tunnel in Krasnoyarsk will be laid by China Railway Construction Corporation.

The contract was signed on May 13 in Moscow with China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), which won the bid to construct the left cross-tunnel from the "Vysotnaya" station to the "Ulitsa Kopylov" station.

Now it is known that the partners for complex construction have been found—they have experience working on the Moscow Metro, Troitskaya Metro, and the Big Circle Line.

Konstantin Matveev stated at the signing of the contract: "Under the framework of Sino-Russian business relations, CRCC has completed many infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Moscow Metro."

"Kopylova" will be the deepest station on the first line, 60 meters below the water surface, and it is here that underground work will involve a tunnel boring machine produced in China.

China Railway Construction is a state-owned enterprise building subways in over 130 countries.

Yao Xiaolei, head of CRCC, said: "We are delighted to apply our company's rich experience in modern tunnel mechanization systems and complex soil tunnels to the implementation of this project."

Specialized equipment is necessary for the subway, and not every company has such equipment, such as hard floor and cutting tools. The new subcontractor will bring their machines from China.

In addition to facilities in Krasnoyarsk, this Chinese company will also reach an agreement with "Mosprojekt-3" to build a tunnel in Chelyabinsk under the government's "Infrastructure Menu" initiative, where the subway is also being constructed.

We remind you that the contract price for constructing the left-side wall tunnel from Vysotnaya to Kopylova stations is 4.37 billion rubles (approximately 390 million RMB).

China will build a 2.6-kilometer-long tunnel at Ulyan Station (marked in red).

The work of the Chinese company will begin this season: the deadline for contract execution is September 3, 2026.

Krasnoyarsk residents hope to celebrate the city's anniversary by obtaining modern transportation means.
