The announcement was made by the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin following an inspection of the station site.
Sobyanin said: “The construction of the Third Interchange Circuit has begun, and one of its stations is 90% ready.
“I hope that by September it will be completed so that in October the section of the Third Interchange Circuit that includes Petrovsky Park, CSKA, Khoroshyovskaya and Delovoi Tsentr stations will open to passenger traffic.
“With the CSKA station, people from nearby neighbourhoods will be within a walking distance of the metro, which will also ease passenger traffic at nearby stations, improving transport availability for Moscow residents.”
