Construction of the light rail from Aviapolis Station to Rälssitie
Follow the progress of light rail construction between Aviapolis Station and Rälssitie. In the future, the light rail will travel from the airport to Pakkala, passing through Jumbo and the new aviation museum, among other stops.
The construction sites are in the areas of Veromies and Pakkala, between Aviapolis Station, Muura, Pakkalanrinne and the Jumbo shopping centre.
The continuation of the light rail from Aviapolis Station to the airport and its final end station will be decided later.
