Tashkent Metro Line Scheme

Chilanzar metro line

Construction of the metro began in 1973 and 4 years later, the first line - Chilanzarskaya, which consisted of nine stations, was opened. Its direction was from the southwest of the city through the center to the north-east of the city. Later in 1980, the line was extended to 3 more underground stations.

Today, 12 metro stations are located on the Chilanzar line with a length of 16.8 km. It is also planned to build a 13th station, which will extend to the TTZ quarter.

Uzbekistan Line

In 1984, the city administration opened another 5 underground stations of the new line - Uzbekistan. From the "Alisher Navoi" station to the "Paxtakor" station of the Chilanzar line, the Uzbekistan line went south-east to the Northern railway station.

Over the course of 8 years, new stations were opened on the Uzbekistan Line, and by 1991, there were already 11 stations on the 14.2 km line.
