A high-speed tramline in Troyeschyna will be put into operation by July 2012, Head of Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Popov has said.

"The construction of a high-speed tramline in Troyeschyna is being actively conducted. We are planning to commission the line before the end of the first half [of 2012], bringing the line from Balzaka Street to the city train," he said during his visit to the construction site of the Ipodrom subway station in Kyiv on Monday.

He said that by commissioning a high-speed tramline on Troyeschyna, residents of this district would be able to get to any part of Kyiv much faster than at present.
