The Northern River Terminal known as the Five Seas’ port is a Moscow landmark public space and transportation hub. The River Terminal was built in the Stalinist Empire style in 1937. Its characteristic features include a spire decorated with a star from the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower and a wide central staircase. In 2020 the North River Terminal has been reinaugurated after 2 years of reconstruction. During the reconstruction most of the original elements of the building and interior details were preserved, and the missing parts were overhauled according to the historical patterns.

The Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development of Moscow is a body of the Government of Moscow, responsible for transport policy, planning and management. We are working on improving public transport experience through developing technologies and implementing best solutions for the benefit of our customers. Projects realized by the Department of Transport have received a number of international awards, which confirms that we are moving in the right direction in improving city mobility.

The Northern River Terminal restoration project, commissioned by the Government of Moscow, provided the revival of the terminal’s historical function as a transport facility and place for year-round Muscovites' recreation. The museum inside the terminal building will be a point of attraction for anyone interested in Moscow transport history. The Moscow public transport system consists of a wide-range of organizations responsible for speed, comfort and safety in the management of city traffic. The principal regulatory body, forming and implementing public transport policy is the Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development of Moscow.
