Olkhovaya is a Moscow Metro station on the Sokolnicheskaya line. It was opened on June 20, 2019, as part of an extension that included Kommunarka, Prokshino, and Filatov Lug.[1][2]

Design

With white square tiles placed in "square diamond" positions, Olkhovaya somewhat resembles Profsoyznaya metro station. The station's active hall (not on photo) has amber-like mosaic featuring "olkha" trees in autumn (with yellow/orange leaves).

The overground part of the station features paved roads and designer benches.

Role for "New Moscow" areas

Said station is adjacent to Kaluzhskoe shosse highway and has a parking lot for car users. Thanks to a namesake bus stops (various routes available) and a big parking lot near the station, bus riders can interchange to/from Moscow Metro without dealing with MKAD-related rush hour traffic jams.

  • Unlike many other out-of-Moscow highways, Kaluzhskoe Shosse highway did not have a railroad "double" to offer an undisturbed public transport alternative to the highway full of traffic jams at the intersections to severely congested MKAD: nowadays, Line 1 is the one.
