Moscow Metro Development
Moscow General Planning Institute, 2025
Transit maps illustrating Moscow's metro construction plans from the place where these plans born. These maps show sections, which are already under construction. The purpose of these maps was either to visually represent project concepts and assist stakeholders in decision-making, or to clearly show city residents new development prospects.
All of these projects are no longer under NDA. Each has approval documents that are publicly available (in Russian). There's also a lot of media coverage of the projects. Even more projects were implemented internally and cannot yet be disclosed for confidentiality reasons.
All images are zoomable.

Citywide maps
Moscow Metro development plans, which show all approved development projects at a glance. The data for these plans is taken from Moscow's targeted investment program, a document outlining the projects the city intends to focus on in the coming years.
Troitskaya line (16)
Maps of the key section of the Troitskaya Line extension to Troitsk, a district of 'New Moscow' after which the line was initially named. Options include a route with phased commissioning, and a "linear" version, which looks like the ones in the train cars.
Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya line (17)
Maps of the new line, the first section of which will be built in 2026. The full project considers providing metro services to one of the most well-known and prestigious suburbs of Moscow, 'Rublyovka'. The line's demonstration options are the same.
Biryulyovskaya line (18)
The third of the most anticipated lines of the Moscow metro.
Construction is already underway on sections from ZIL, once the city's largest plant, to the Biryulyovo district.

The long-awaited unification of the yellow line
For over a decade, Muscovites have been hearing rumours that the Yellow Line (previously only its eastern section) is slated to extend into the city center. When its western section opened in 2017, the question "Will they be connected soon?" became even more common. The project continues, but it's constantly being delayed.
The same situation was previously seen in Berlin (lines U5/U55) and still can be watched in Barcelona (different segments of L9 and L10 lines).
