As part of the modernization of the peripheral railway line, the Consortium will rebuild 8 platforms, 3 railway viaducts, an underground passage and 3 footbridges. In addition, it will replace the tracks over a length of 10.5 km and rebuild the overhead contact line with a length of over 14 km. Acoustic screens will be installed along the railway line, modern elevators will be built to provide convenient access to the platforms, and stops will be equipped with monitoring, which will increase the level of safety of travelers.
