{{Main|Bolshaya Koltsevaya line}}

After upgrading the railway from 1908 to a proper Metro line, the development of another circle route was re-launched, now adjusted for the pear-shaped [[circle route]] of line #14.

Throughout the late 2010s, Line 11 was extended from short, tiny [[Kakhovskaya line]] to a half-circle (from Kakhovskaya to [[Savyolovskaya (Bolshaya Koltsevaya line)|Savyolovskaya]]). In early 2023, the circle was finished.<ref>[https://tass.ru/info/17166917 Она имеет протяженность 70 км и насчитывает 31 станцию (&#91;The line&#93; has the length of 70 km and counts 31 station)]</ref>
* Similarly made [[Shelepikha (Bolshaya Koltsevaya line)|Shelepikha]], [[Khoroshyovskaya (Moscow Metro)|Khoroshovskaya]], [[CSKA (Moscow Metro)|CSKA]] and [[Petrovsky Park (Moscow Metro)|Petrovsky Park]] stations have lots of polished granite and shiny surfaces, in contrast to Soviet "centipedes". Throughout 2018–2021, these stations were connected to [[Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line|line 8A]].
* [[Narodnoye Opolcheniye (Moscow Metro)|Narodnoye Opolcheniye]] (2021) features lots of straight edges and linear decorations (such as uninterrupted "three stripes" style of the ceiling lights and rectangular columns).

As for the spring of 2023, the whole [[circle route]] line is up and running, forming a circle stretching to the southern near-MKAD residential parts of the city ([[Prospekt Vernadskogo (Bolshaya Koltsevaya line)|Prospekt Vernadskogo]], [[Tekstilshchiki (Bolshaya Koltsevaya line)|Tekstilshchiki]]) as opposed to the MCC's stretching towards the northern districts of Moscow. In other words, BCL "mirrors" MCC, avoiding forming a perfect circle around the city centre. While being {{Convert|70|km|abbr=on}} long, the line is now the longest subway line in the world, {{Convert|13|km|abbr=on}} ahead of the previous record holder - the line 10 of [[Beijing Subway]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://metrorailtoday.com/news/moscow-metro-launches-worlds-longest-metro-circle-line-big-circle-line-11 | title=Moscow Metro launches World's longest metro circle line - Big Circle Line 11 &#124; Metro Rail Today }}</ref>
