Tsentralno–Zavodska line


The Tsentralno–Zavodska line is the first and only line of the Dnipro Metro in Dnipro, located in eastern Ukraine. The line's short length, makes the Dnipro Metro system the shortest metro system in the world. The six station segment was opened on December 29, 1995 and runs from the Vokzalna station west to the terminus at Pokrovska. Only the system's depot, Diivka, is located west of the Pokrovska station.
Three stations are currently under construction, which would expand the system from the Dnipro Central Railway Station to the city centre; Teatralna, Tsentralna, and Muzeina. Construction of these stations was restarted in late February 2011 after being completely halted on July 26, 2009. The stations were expected to be finished by late 2015. But construction was stopped because the tender to select the contractor was stopped by the city council in August 2015. In November 2018 city authorities expected the three stations to be opened by the summer of 2023. After the completion of these three stations the line would finally be as it was envisioned in 1980.
There are plans for two other station, "Parus" planned for the western terminus of the Tsentralno–Zavodska line, and "Dnipro" as the terminus following "Muzeina". In 2011 there were also plans for another new station following "Parus", a station called "Parus-2" or "Dyivska". Partly, a lack of funding for the construction predetermined that the city then named Dnipropetrovsk was not chosen as one of the host cities of the UEFA Euro 2012 football championship.
