Tram route 2 will be diverted to run via Sturenkatu and Läntinen Brahenkatu to Helsinginkatu from Monday 31 March. Tram 9B was diverted to this route at the beginning of March due to the route changes in Hakaniemi.
There will be no tram services to the "Fleminginkatu" (H0652 and H0653) and "Helsinginkatu" (H0651) stops. Additionally, tram 2 will not serve the other "Helsinginkatu" (H0650) stop, which will, however, be served by trams 1 and 8.
The nearest stops for trams 2 and 9B will be "Porvoonkatu" (H0261 and H0261) and "Urheilutalo". In the direction of Töölö, tram 2 will serve the "Urheilutalo" stop on Helsinginkatu (H0248), while tram 9 will serve the stop on the opposite side of the street (H0278) in the direction of Hakaniemi. In the direction of Pasila, trams 2 and 9 will serve the stop on Läntinen Brahenkatu (H0259).
