Primorskaya (

Vasilievsky Island, was designed to coincide with the expansion of the local neighborhoods. Like many stations built during the Cold War
era, it was designed to double as a fallout shelter. Thus, the underground portion of the station features a set of blast doors a few meters before the escalator. The station's exit vestibule was eventually expanded to house one of the system's communication centers. The building also hosts a metro museum and Metropoliten cafe.

Local landmarks

It is also fairly close to Novosmolenskaya Cemetery, the city's first cemetery.

Recent developments and plans

The station is slated to have a transfer link to the

Pravoberezhnaya Line. The station it will link to will probably be called Primorskaya II.[citation needed
]

The extension of the line north to Novokrestovskaya and Begovaya opened on 26 May 2018.[1][2]
