History

Until late 2010 the metro ended at the Kremlin, short of the river. Reaching the north bank meant driving two tunnels beneath the Kazanka. Work on the new station began in 2006. The tunnels to Kremlyovskaya were built in 2009. Kozya Sloboda opened to passengers on 30 December 2010. Heavy snow was falling and the mayor remarked how timely the new river crossing was. Kazan’s seventh station has distinctive slanting metal columns. Its name remembers a much older settlement across the river.
