The platform on the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) at Nizhegorodskaya station collapsed due to cold weather.
A serious incident occurred at Sergei Sobyanin's well-known Moscow Central Circle (MCC) project. On January 30, a platform at Nizhegorodskaya station collapsed due to cold weather, according to some metro employees. According to preliminary reports, the station will be closed for at least six months.
According to workers, the site has long been plagued by problems: construction deadlines were missed between 2015 and 2020, then attempts were made to catch up at an accelerated pace, and reports of massive theft and violations constantly surfaced around the project.
Large-scale operational problems arise amid well-known issues with the quality of project implementation, which has long been used as a key city PR project.
