Ulitsa Skobelevskaya is a station on the Butovskaya Light Metro Line
of the Moscow Metro
system in Moscow, Russia. Opened on 27 December 2003 along with four other light metro stations, it is named for the street that it serves, dedicated to Russian-Turkish war hero M.D. Skobelev.
Two of the station's lobbies are located on Admiral Ushakov parkway and on Skovelev street. In the centre of the platform there are enclosed escalators and a lift for handicapped access to the station.
The design of Ulitsa Skobelevskaya station is simple and almost identical to other stations of the Butovskaya Light Metro line (except for Ulitsa Starokachalovskaya, which is underground). It is located on an elevated viaduct with a light green and curvy canopy stretching over the entire platform. There are large sound and wind barriers on either side of the platform. The single island platform itself is 90m (295 feet) long, 7m (22 feet) wide, and 9.6 (31 feet) above the ground.
