The European Investment Bank will help pay for a 4 km extension to Dnipro’s one-line Metro, adding three new stations

, the Finance Ministry reports. With the stations — Teatralna, Tsentralna, and Muzeina — the Metro will reach the center of the city of nearly 1 million people. “The subway line runs from the border of the sleeping area of ​​the city to the railway station and does not reach the central part of the city, which significantly limits the possibilities of its use,” says Deputy Finance Minister Oleksandr Kava. “Completion of construction will significantly reduce the number of traffic jams in the city.” With the EIB funding, the extension is to be completed by 2024.
