The Nekrasovskaya line (Russian: Некрасовская линия) is the fifteenth metro line of the Moscow Metro. The first segment, between Kosino and Nekrasovka, was opened on 3 June 2019.[2] The second segment was opened on 27 March 2020.[3] City officials expect it to relieve passenger traffic on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line once completed.

From 17 February to 19 February 2023, the section of the line from Elektrozavodskaya to Nizhegorodskaya was closed in order to connect it to the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line.[4] On 20 February, the section was transferred from the Nekrasovskaya line to the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line.[5]
Name
editDuring construction, the line was referred to as the Kozhukhovskaya line. One concern about the name, which comes from a small village in the region, is that there is already a Kozhukhovskaya station on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line that got its name from a different village with the same name. Therefore there was the possibility of confusion.[6]
The city opened a vote via its Active Citizen portal to rename the line to the Nekrasovskaya line.[7] The respondents voted in favour with 73.4% supporting the name change.[8] As of November 2018, the official Moscow Metro map referred to the line as the Nekrasovskaya line. This marked the second time in two years that Moscow residents voted for a name change for a new transit line. In 2017, a similar vote resulted in a name change for the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line from its working name – Third Interchange Contour.[9]
Metro line opening
editThe technical launch of the first Nekrasovka - Kosino section took place on August 31, 2018, and its opening on June 3, 2019.[10]
On January 2, 2020, the technical commissioning of the second section "Kosino" - "Lefortovo", including a section of the Great Ring Line, was carried out.[11] It was scheduled to open at the end of March 2020.
From March 20 to March 24, 2020, the line was closed for passengers due to the connection of the new section "Kosino" - "Lefortovo".[12]
The second section of the Nekrasovskaya line with stations Yugo-Vostochnaya, Okskaya, Stakhanovskaya and Nizhegorodskaya was opened on March 27, 2020.[13]
The BKL section from Lefortovo to Elektrozavodskaya was opened on December 31, 2020 as part of the Nekrasovskaya line.
From February 17 to February 19, 2023 the section of Nekrasovskaya line from Elektrozavodskaya to Nizhegorodskaya was temporarily closed to connect it to the Great Ring Line.[14]
On February 20, 2023, the section resumed operation with a subsequent transition to the Great Circle Line.[15]
