The project is carried out as part of the second phase of construction of the Frunzensky radius from the Mezhdunarodnaya station to the Yuzhnaya station (Shushary) in accordance with the Resolution of the Government of St. Petersburg "On the Concept of the development of the passenger transport system in St. Petersburg, including the subway and other types of high-speed transport for the period until 2020 "and the Resolution of the Government of St. Petersburg" On the sectoral scheme for the development of the metro in St. Petersburg for 2011–2015 with a perspective until 2025 ".
