Launch of new transport route 7m in Omsk underway.
The city of Omsk has announced a tender for the design of an interchange at a specific metro bridge. The tender, worth approximately 10.9 million Russian rubles, is not for the construction of the interchange but for its design only.
The tender is related to the metro bridge in Omsk and the upcoming changes in the city's public transportation system. According to recent local transport notifications, the trolleybus route No. 7m will start operating on the updated route through Krupskaya Street and across the Leningrad Bridge beginning August 18, 2025.
The updated route of route No. 7m will significantly reduce waiting times at stops and alleviate crowding. During weekdays, 10 trolleybuses will operate on this route, while on weekends and holidays, 8 trolleybuses will be in service.
The success of the test run for route No. 7m's updated route has been confirmed, and the contact network section for this route has been successfully tested and tuned without any issues. One trolleybus on route No. 7m can transport up to 500 passengers per hour.
Route No. 7m's updated route includes travel through the Kuzminki and Topolinny microdistricts. The route will provide access to the city center via the Leningrad Bridge. Previously, route No. 7m's route included travel through the Kuzminki microdistrict only.
The tender is for the design of an interchange at the metro bridge in Omsk, not for any other infrastructure in the city. The city's officials have emphasised that the tender is part of the ongoing efforts to improve the city's public transportation system and reduce traffic congestion.
For those interested in learning more about the tender or the updated route of trolleybus route No. 7m, it is recommended to visit the local city transport authority's announcements or their website directly.
What is the relation between the tender for the design of an interchange at the metro bridge and the upcoming changes in Omsk's public transportation system? The tender is part of the ongoing efforts to improve the city's industry, specifically the finance and transportation sectors, by alleviating traffic congestion and efficiently managing public-transit.
