Construction
Construction of the station itself took four years and cost 20 billion rubles.[1] The plans for a station in the Upper City were developed in 1987 in conjunction with the planned construction of the Metromost bridge over the Oka. Construction on the bridge started in 1992, but a lack of a financing interrupted the work several times. The work restarted in 2006 with the initial phase opening in 2009.[2]
