Rechnoy Vokzal (Russian: Речной вокзал, River Terminal) is currently the northwestern terminus of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. It was opened on the New Year's Eve of 1965. It is named after the North River Terminal located nearby. Until 1975 it was the northernmost station on the metro system. The design follows the standardized pillar-trispan design featuring white-flecked, brown marble pillars and tiled walls. The architects were N. Demchinsky and Yu. Kolesnikova. It has two identical vestibules, located at the intersection of Festivalnaya Street and the M10 highway.[1]

The line is being extended northward to Khovrino, which will become the northern terminus of the line when it opens.[2]
