The most visible change for passengers are the new smoke doors, which have been built in the platform area at the bottom of the escalators.
In addition, a so-called smoke front has been built at the top of the piers. It separates the platform and the tracks from each other when it comes to the actual location, when smoke has to be removed from, for example, a tunnel.
A new sprinkler extinguishing system has also been installed at the station. The lighting and acoustics of the wharf area have also been improved.
Fire safety the improvement at the metro station is still partially in progress.
However, the remaining works no longer affect metro traffic, but they are visible to passengers: the middle part of the platform area is out of use. Everything should be ready next March.
There will be exceptions to metro traffic next year as well. The most significant changes are between Itäkeskus and Vuosaari, where the Vartiolahti metro bridge is being repaired.
