Construction of the western metroline advances on schedule – and from the looks of it, the metroline
could well head further west than originally planned. Presently, Matinkylä is the end of the line in Espoo,
but there is talk about pushing westward, all the way to Kivenlahti. This would mean adding a stretch
of seven kilometers to the line, as well as realising five new metro stations: Finnoo, Kaitaa, Soukka,
Espoonlahti and Kivenlahti.
