The Dnipro Metro (Ukrainian: Дніпровський метрополітен) is a single-line rapid transit system that serves the city of Dnipro, the fourth largest city in Ukraine by population.[6] The metro was the third system constructed in Ukraine, after the Kyiv and Kharkiv metro systems, respectively, when it opened on December 29, 1995. The metro was the fourteenth built in the former Soviet Union region, and the first to open after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The Dnipro Metro consists of one 7.8-kilometer (4.8 mi)
Current expansion plans are projected to increase the number of stations to nine by 2024, which would extend the line 4 km (2.5 mi) to a total of 11.8 km (7.3 miles).[1]
History
With help from the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine
A second line was planned to pass through residential areas and industrial enterprises of the southern right-bank part of the city, Lenin Square and residential areas on the left bank of the Dnieper.[11] A third was planned to connect through "the center quarters of the southwestern part with the north on the left bank of the Dnieper."[11] A planned fourth line would run along the left bank and cross residential areas and industrial areas of the northern part of the city.[11] After the Teatralna, Tsentralna, and Muzeina stations are completed, Dnipro's first metro line as it was originally envisioned in 1980 will be complete. In November 2018 city authorities expected these three new stations to be opened by the summer of 2023.[12]
On March 15, 1982, following a decree by the

The Dnipro Metro system was constructed following the typical Soviet metro construction format. Out of the six stations, five are located deep underground and one is placed near the surface. Four of the deep stations are single vaults built on Leningrad technology and one is a Pylon. The only shallow station is a pillar trispan. Owing to the economic recession of the early 1990s, the metro stations lack the same level of decoration and architectural integrity as those built in Soviet times.
Future growth
Three stations are currently under construction, which would expand the system from the

In June 2014, President Petro Poroshenko signed the 2014 budget into law which will allocate funding to the "Dnipropetrovskyi Metropoliten" company for the completion of the metro line.[15] The two new stations in the city centre, Teatralna and Tsentralna, were expected to be finished by 2015, whilst Muzeina was according to plans to be finished by 2016.[5] Another station, "Parus", is planned for the western terminus of the Tsentralno-Zavodska Line.[5]
Construction did not start because the tender to select the contractor was stopped by the city council in August 2015.[16] In the summer of 2016, the mayor of Dnipro Borys Filatov and representatives of Limak Holding signed a contract to build the Dnipro subway.[17] The active phase of work started in April 2017.[17]
In November 2018, city authorities expected the three new stations to be opened by the summer of 2023.[12] At the beginning of 2019, it was announced that there were allocated some ₴1.4 billion as a subvention from the state budget.[17] In December 2020 Dnipro authorities planned that the new stations would be opened in 2024.[18] This date however is untenable following the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine since February 24th, 2022, due to the ongoing war all work has been stopped and the provisionally secured construction is facing flooding and falling into disrepair.[19][20]
After the first additions to the line segment, the total length of the only line was expected to be 11.82 kilometers (7.34 mi), with 9 stations.
