The new railway station is almost completed in Biysk. It is situated on a Vasily Shukshin square.

The necessity of building a new railway station in the second largest city of Altai region was caused by the prospective of tourism development in the region and in the neighbor republic of Altai ("Biryuzovaya Katun" and "Altai valley" tourist zones). Besides, there is the largest Siberian resort Belokuriha situated 70 kilometers far from Biysk.

The building began in August 2008. In August 2009 it will accept the first passengers. The cost of the project is 230 million people. It is financed by the Russian Railways and by the administration of Altai region.

The area of the modern railway complex is 3500 square meters. Capacity is 1000 people per day. The complex will include a hotel for 18 people, a comfortable waiting hall, a business center, an air ticket office, a tourist office and a café.
