History
Koivusaari metro station opened in 2017 as part of the Länsimetro extension, and is currently the only metro station in the world located under the sea.[5] The station has 76 meter-long escalators and funicular-style elevators. It is the westernmost metro station in Helsinki. The following station to the west, Keilaniemi, is located in Espoo.
Koivusaari temporarily closed for refurbishment – to fix cracks found in the concrete floor of the station – on 1 June 2020 and will reopen in September.[6]
