Two more lines were opened before World War II. In March 1938, the Arbatskaya line was extended to the Kúrskaya station (today Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya - dark blue line). In September 1938, the Górkovsko-Zamoskvorétskaya line was opened, between Sókol and Teatrálnaya.
The projects for the third stage of the Moscow Metro were delayed during World War II. Two sections of the metro were put into service: Teatrálnaya - Avtozavódskaya (3 stations, crossing the Moscow River with a deep tunnel) and Kúrskaya - Izmailovsky Park (4 stations).
