RZD and government of the Sverdlovsk region signed an agreement about joint implementation of the project for creation of a hub in Yekaterinburg with surrounding area development.

The project provides reconstruction of the railway station, improvement of its surrounding territory and creation of a hub convenient both for passengers and business. Besides, comprehensive security measures will be carried out and “RZD-taxi” and “RZD-transfer” projects will be implemented there.

The project will be funded jointly from the regional “RZD” budget. The parties’ investments and shares in the project will be defined according to the strategy of the joint project implementation that will be prepared by the end of this year.

“The hub in Yekaterinburg will meet the highest world standards. It will be convenient for passengers to change transport. After the railway station reconstruction its territory will be considerably enlarged and this will surely increase the number of jobs in its public and business infrastructure. Modernization of the facilities and buildings for handicapped groups of population will be carried out,” – said head of the Directorate of railway stations Sergey Abramov.
