A new technological building for the Baku Metro, located near the '28 May' station, is near completion, according to a message posted on Feb. 3 on the Baku Metro's website.

The new building will provide management, organization and regulation of traffic, as well as, the safety of passengers in Azerbaijani capital's metro, according to the message.

The message said that the creation of the technological building's main facilities is at the final stage; these are the traffic control points, which are important in the organization of not only movement, but also the work of the metro.

Currently the length of Baku Metro's lines is 34.6 kilometers. It has two lines.
