DESCRIPTION
Minsk has been the eighth Soviet town provided with an underground metro system. Metro plans where approved after that Minsk population overtook 1 million of inhabitants during years '50s and '60s; works started in 1977.

The second metro line (Line 2/Avtozavodskaya) opened in 1990 running from from Traktorniy Zavod to Frunzenskaya.

Further extensions were completed in 2001 (Avtozavodskaya-Mogilyovskaya) and 2005 (Pushkinskaya-Kamennaya Gorka).
