History

The initial cost of the line was about 45 billion rubles. In July 2017, the city government confirmed that the extension would move forward, allowing construction to continue.

In March 2017, the city began clearing space around the planned station to accommodate the construction.

In 2022, the city plans to complete a tram line that connects the station to the town of Troitsk.

The station has a single lobby with entrances on either side of the highway. Passengers is access the station via elevated walkways over the highway.
