West Helsinki light rail (Finnish: Länsi-Helsingin raitiotie) is a public transit construction project in Helsinki, Finland that would build about 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) of light rail track from Munkkiniemi along Huopalahdentie, Vihdintie and Kaupintie to Kannelmäki, and about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) of track on Topeliuksenkatu to relieve capacity on the existing tracks on Mannerheimintie. The project was approved by the Helsinki City Council in January 2021. As of 2023, construction is due to begin in 2026 and the project is due to be completed 2030 or 2031.
