Sofia Metro Line 3 is the third line of the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria, built by Metropolitan EAD in two stages with EU funding from the Operational Programme Transport and Transport Infrastructure 2014-2020: Stage I, 7.8 km and 8 stations from Krasno Selo to Hadzhi Dimitar, built in 2016-2020 for EUR 398.2 million excluding VAT, and Stage II, 3.8 km with 4 stations, for EUR 101.9 million excluding VAT. The Krasno Selo - Hadzhi Dimitar section opened on 26 August 2020 and the extension to Gorna Banya on 24 April 2021, so the two stages together cost about EUR 500.1 million excluding VAT.
