The switch maintenance and bridge repair work conducted by Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd has proceeded as planned in Kontula and Myllypuro and Kontula and Myllypuro Metro Stations will reopen on Monday 5 August.
At Kontula station, only one track will be in use, which means that arriving and departing trains will use the same track. This arrangement is temporary. Both tracks will be operational at the beginning of September.
The westernmost entrance to Kontula Metro Station on the Kontulankaari side will reopen fully refurbished in April 2025. The central and eastern entrances will reopen on 5 August. The renovation of the station will continue and the work will be fully completed in autumn 2025.
Replacement bus 99M will be rerouted from Monday 5 August when the Kontula and Myllypuro stations open. The bus will no longer run from Kontula via Myllypuro to Itäkeskus. Instead, the bus will run between Kontula and Mellunmäki. In Kontula, the bus departs from the Kontulantie stops, and in Mellunmäki from bay 15 in the bus terminal.
The bus will operate between Kontula and Mellunmäki until the reopening of Mellunmäki Metro Station on 9 September.
