    Will the Helsinki metro have a service break in 2027?

    Why the break happens and how the metro will run during it.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    HSL's Transport Service Plan for 2026 to 2027 says metro services will be disrupted between Hakaniemi and Herttoniemi in summer 2027, and Kalasatama metro station is expected to close in spring 2027 because the Junatie metro bridge is being replaced. Kaupunkiliikenne and HSL said that during the break the metro will run from the west as far as Hakaniemi and from the east to Herttoniemi. HSL plans replacement transport.

    Why

    1. HSL's plan names the Hakaniemi to Herttoniemi break in summer 2027.
    2. HSL says Kalasatama station is expected to close in spring 2027.
    3. Kaupunkiliikenne and HSL describe how the metro runs during the break.

    Details

    Kaupunkiliikenne said the Kalasatama closure was shortened because the platform bridges do not need to be demolished.

    Tip

    If you visit Helsinki in summer 2027, check HSL's replacement buses for trips to the east.

    What may differ

    HSL also says the new trams 11 and 12 to Laajasalo will start in early 2027, when the Crown Bridges open.

    Common misconception

    The whole metro will stop in 2027.

    What actually happens

    Only the stretch between Hakaniemi and Herttoniemi is cut.
