    When do the new trams to Laajasalo in Helsinki start?

    The two new lines and where they run.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    HSL's Transport Service Plan for 2026 to 2027 says tram 11 will run from Pasila via Kalasatama to Kruunuvuorenranta, and tram 12 from Rautatientori via Hakaniemi to Yliskylä. Both start in early 2027, when the Crown Bridges open. Bus routes serving Laajasalo will also change. The HSL Executive Board approved the plan on 20 January 2026.
