Currently 5 TBMs are tunnelling for the Kommunarskaya line: Elena and Svetlana are working from the Peoples 'Friendship University  to Novatorov Street ; Olga is currently laying the right tunnel from the Peoples' Friendship University station to General Tyulenev Street;  the section between the Slavic World and General Tyulenev Street stations is being erected by TBMs Polina and Daria.

The Kommunarskaya metro line will run from the station of the Moscow central ring to Troitsk. The Kommunarskaya Line will be the second longest metro line after the Big Circle Line about 38 km with 16 stations in total. For further information please click here and here. 12/20.
