The Pravoberezhnaya Line (Russian: Правобережная) (also known as Zanevsko-Lakhtinskaya), is a line of the Saint Petersburg Metro, opened in 1985 it is the newest line in the system with the stations featuring a modern design.
The line originally opened as an access from the centre for the new resident areas along the right bank of the Neva river but has since passed under the city centre and moved away northwards, having the westernmost tunnels under the Neva river.

[edit] Rolling stock
The line is served by the Vyborgskoe (№ 6) depot, and has 42 six-carriage trains assigned to it.
[edit] Recent developments and future plans
The line that exists today will continue to do so until 2008, albeit the unfinished station Admiralteiskaya is due to be completed in 2007, when it will be broken up between Dostoevskaya and Sadovaya.
All the stations north of that point will be absorbed by the new Kupchinsko-Primorskaya Line which will then extend primarily to the south east. Zvenigorodskaya (transfer to line 1), Obvodnyi Kanal, Volkovskaya, Bukharestskaya, Mezhdunarodnaya and Prospekt Slavy should open by 2013.
For the segment that will remain under line 4 a new station will open in 2008, along with the separation, Spasskaya which will create the first 3 station transfer point in the city (to Sadovaya and Sennaya Ploshchad). From there, there be two more extensions from both ends of the line. Narodnaya in the south in 2011 and Teatralnaya in the North in 2014.
In the more distant future the remaining two paths of the Sportivnaya station will be taken up by the future ring line which will allow a cross-platform transfer.
