Excerpt from Wikipedia
Koivusaari metro station (Finnish:Koivusaaren metroasema, Swedish:Björkholmens metrostation) is a station located underwater on the Länsimetro extension of the Helsinki Metro.
Although the metro station is named after Koivusaari, the westernmost island in Helsinki, it is actually located on the extreme western edge of the Lauttasaari island.
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. The station has 76-metre-long (249 ft) 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 metro station was temporarily closed for refurbishment – to fix cracks found in the concrete floor of the station – on 1 June 2020 and reopened in September.
