May 13, Fineko/abc.az. The construction of 10 new metro stations in the capital is planned within the state program, ABC.AZ reports, quoting Baku Metro CJSC CEO Vusa Aslanov.

He pointed out that the station, whose code name is B4, is expected to be commissioned by the end of this year, as the main engineering work has been completed there and the interior design process has begun.

«Tenders will be announced for the other 9 stations this year, and construction work will start next year. The development on the Green Line will mainly cover the eastern part of the city, and by 2030, the gap from Khatai station to Hazi Aslanov station will be filled with the construction of four new stations — Y-14, Y-15, Y-16, and Y-17. These stations will be located at strategic points such as Agh Sheher (Baku White City), 8 Noyabr avenue, and Nargila circle. On the Purple Line, it is planned to build 6 new stations — B-4 to B-8 — in order to create diversification in the city center. Stations B-5 (Nizami), B6A (Sahil), and B7 (Khatai) will intersect with the existing lines and perform the function of junctions and transitions.

The lack of metro construction in areas such as Binagadi, Yasamal, and Khirdalan is explained by technical reasons. If lines are built directly from the outskirts of the city without branching out to the central part of the city with alternative connections, the existing central infrastructure may be overloaded and paralyzed. According to simulations conducted on the 'digital twin' of Baku, first of all, the goal is to fully integrate the Purple line into the city center. After this line is fully extended to the center, it will be possible to effectively meet the flow of passengers coming from Khirdalan, Masazir, Sumgayit, and Baku-Shamakhi," he said.
