Street work on Siltasaarenkatu – what’s being done
In October, Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd will remove the temporary tram tracks between Hämeentie and the “Kallion virastotalo” tram stops and reopen the old tracks from Hämeentie and Siltasaarenkatu. Additionally, track and switch work will be carried out at the junction of Toinen linja and Siltasaarenkatu.
Test runs will be conducted on the new tram tracks between Hakaniementori Market Square and the Pitkäsilta Bridge. The work is part of the construction of the Kruunusillat tramway, which will connect Laajasalo, Korkeasaari, and Kalasatama to Hakaniemi in 2027.
As part of the project, water and sewer systems, as well as other outdated utility infrastructure, have also been replaced on Siltasaarenkatu. Additionally, the tram tracks between Hakaniementori Market Square and the Pitkäsilta Bridge have been replaced, and new switches have been installed at the intersection of Siltasaarenkatu and Hakaniemenranta. The new switches will enable the new light rail link to Laajasalo.
