Month without "Ladoga"
In early March, in St. Petersburg for 11 months they closed the Ladozhskaya metro station for major repairs. They are going to repair the lobby, the box office and technical rooms.
Repair formally has been going on for a month now, but announcements about the search for workers at the station appeared on VKontakte and Avito only in early April. All this time, Petersburgers are standing in lines on the tram and complain about problems with transport.
"Paper" spoke with the metro representatives, officials from the Transport Committee and the authors of the ads. Read what they talked about the repair of the station.
For the repair of Ladoga, they are still looking for workers. Ads appeared on VKontakte and on Avito
On April 7, a message about the search for employees for repair work at the station was published in the public “Vedead Ladozhskaya” on April 7. The announcement said that employees with construction specialties are needed: "electric welders, locksmiths, mining." A similar vacancy also appeared on Avito.
"Paper" turned to the author of the announcement to find out the details of the set. He informed us that the work needs masons, reinforcements, concrete workers, electric welders, locksmiths and mining. We were refused to call the salary fork, but Avito says that potential employees can earn from 60 thousand rubles.
In the comments on the record, users write that work is not underway on Ladoga. “In a month, only the letters were dismantled,” says one of the users.
"Paper" sent a request to the press service of the St. Petersburg metro on the progress of work. They reported that the repair is on time, now they are dismantling, but they do not specify what exactly. We also sent a request to the Lenspavtomatiki press service, which conducts work, but at the time of publication of the text did not receive an answer.
Locals regularly complain about the problems with ground transport
The Ladozhskaya metro station is an important transport hub, including because of the station where trains from different cities arrive. During the repair of the station, the authorities launched a free high -speed tram from Ladoga.
On April 3, readers of Paper complained that they could not leave the station, since Tram was not enough. According to reports, people did not fit in trams and fell out of them.
Problems with public transport in the Ladoga area not the first time arose. So, for example, on March 6, on the first working day after the station was closed, a free tram got off the rails near the Alexander Nevsky Square station.
Later, March 15, a tram traffic jam was formed on the same free route due to the fact that one tram broke on Zanevskaya Square.
Comterans believe that the ground transport system is established successfully
The Paper Transport Committee reported that information about the transport collapse on April 3 was not true. According to the press service, the accumulation of people at stops, characteristic of peak hours, was observed only from 6:30 to 8:00. The committee added that three additional tram was brought out to serve passengers on a free route - this allows you to withstand the interval of four minutes.
The press service noted that on April 3 there was bad weather, which influenced the road situation-due to congestion, Zanevskaya Square was blocked.
In Comterans, it is believed that the prognosis of the redistribution of passenger traffic was justified and ground transport successfully copes with peak loads.
Ladozhskaya will open in February 2024
The station was closed for 11 months - until February 2024. During this time, the contractor must carry out the overhaul of the lobby, the cash hall, technical premises and the Escalantic Hall of Ladoga.
The St. Petersburg metro intends to restore the external cladding of the station - it will be made of natural stone. The contractor is also obliged to change the doors, change the lighting, repair the escalator’s inclined stroke and replace the engineering networks.
The station should be made more accessible to low -mobility citizens by changing the layout and expansion of the input vestibule.
As reported by the Paper in the press service of the Transport Committee, the State Unitary Enterprise “Petersburg Metro” signed an agreement for the repair of the station with the only company to apply, “Lenspavtomatika”. The amount of the contract amounted to 2.27 billion rubles.
