Going West
Countdown to metro gains momentum
Construction of the west-bound metro is in full swing. The effort began in
Ruoholahti, Helsinki, in November 2009, with operations kicking off in Espoo
the following June. In November 2010 the one kilometre mark was reached.
By the end of the year, excavation work was performed at nine points along
the future metro line.
