Western Helsinki is developing – West-Helsinki Light Rail project to kick off extensive urban development

The West-Helsinki Light Rail project will involve building a new roughly 10-kilometre light rail tram connection from Kannelmäki to the city centre. This will be a significant kick-off for urban development in the whole of western Helsinki. New homes for 14,000 Helsinki residents and business premises are being planned along the line. In addition to the light rail network, the work will involve extensive overhauls of municipal infrastructure and the construction of a new urban environment.
