Vyshhorodsko-Darnytska Line (Ukrainian: Вишгородсько-Дарницька лінія) is a proposed fifth line to the Kiev Metro system serving the Ukrainian capital Kiev. The line is proposed to begin near the Taras Shevchenko Square in the city's north, and is to run south, connecting to the system's four other lines (one of which is currently under construction). It will later run east, and will cross over the Dnipro River and ending at the Darnytsia Railway Station on the city's left bank.[1]

Planning

Talks about the creation of the Vyshhorodsko-Darnytska Line as the fifth line addition to the Kiev Metro first began in March 2012. The deputy chief of planning and architecture of the Kiev City State Administration Andriy Kudelina stated that the new draft of the city's master plan aims to increase the total length of the metro system from 64 km (40 mi) to 130 km (81 mi) and the number of stations from 50 to 100.[2] The master plan also anticipates the construction of seven new depots, and two new subway lines, including the Vyshhorodsko-Darnytska Line and the already under construction Podilsko-Vyhurivska Line, with the priority for construction resting on the latter.[3]

In 2013, it became known that the Vyshhorodsko-Darnytska Line will be colored yellow on the future metro maps, and will perspectively connect the Minskyi neighborhood, Vitriani Hory, Priorka, Kurenivka, Karavaievy Dachi, Chokolivka, Oleksandrivska Slobidka, and Pozniaky neighborhoods of the city.[4]
