Prospekt Metalurhiv (Ukrainian: Проспект Металургiв; Russian: Проспект Металлургов, Prospekt Metallurgov) is a station on the Kryvyi Rih Metrotram. Opened on May 2, 1989 as part of the second segment of the second stage, it, like its neighbour Budynok Rad, are the only two stations that are built to the full Metro standard.
The construction is the same standard Kharkov technology single vault layout, with a provision for the platform to be raised. Decoratively, a large monolithic concrete vault with a series of niches with suspended luminescent chandeliers. Red brickwork and grey marble is used on walls whilst Red and grey granite cover the floor.
As both of these single-vault stations are built to the Metro standard, the track between them is a full bored tunnel rather than the open method used elsewhere. The system also reaches its deepest point, 22 metres between the two stations.
Geographically, the station is situated on the intersection between the Metallurgov avenue and Stanislav Kosior street near the Metalurh Stadium, home ground to FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih. The station has two underground vestibules, interconnected with subways.
