Novosibirsk Metro Bridge, Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia
Most of the Novosibirsk metro stations are shallow ones. The tunneling was performed with TBM in the densely populated areas. All the stations were constructed with cut-and-cover method. The favourable geotechnical conditions made the construction of the shallow stations possible. There are the column type stations and the vault type stations with 2 entrances usually connected to the underground passages as it was required by regulations.
The main feature of the Novosibirsk metro is the longest metro bridge in Russia (also metro bridges are parts of the systems in Moscow, Kazan, Omsk, one is currently under construction in Nizhny Novgorod).
