Länsimetro Oy will be resurfacing the platform floors at the Koivusaari Metro Station between 1 June and 5 August 2020.

During the renovation work, the station will remain closed to passengers and trains will not stop at the station, said the City of Helsinki in a press release.

Otherwise, Metro services will operate as usual. The resurfacing work is being undertaken due to cracks observed in the station platforms. Bus routes 20 and 104 will provide alternative service in the area.

During the resurfacing work, bus route 20 provides alternative service between Katajaharju and Isokaari. The bus runs via Lauttasaari and Ruoholahti metro stations. Westbound passengers as well as eastbound passengers travelling beyond Ruoholahti are advised to change to Metro at the Lauttasaari station.

The easiest way is to exit/enter the station via entrance A on Gyldénintie; bus 20 stops at bays 1 and 2 in front of the entrance. The bus also serves bays 3 and 4 on Lauttasaarentie, but they are a bit further away from the station.
