The departure stop and terminus “Korkeasaari” (H4033) for bus route 16, which runs from Rautatientori (Railway Square) to Mustikkamaa, will return to its original location on Monday, 1 December.
At the same time, the newly renovated Korkeasaarensilta Bridge, which connects Mustikkamaa and Korkeasaari, will be opened to pedestrians. Korkeasaarensilta Bridge and Finkensilta Bridge, which is part of the Crown Bridges, will be opened to all pedestrians. For the time being, bicycles and other light vehicles must be walked across Finkensilta Bridge, as the bike lanes on the bridge will not open until later. Finkensilta Bridge, which connects Nihti and Korkeasaari, was opened for visitors to Korkeasaari Zoo in August.
The new entrance building on Korkeasaari, where ticket sales will be located in the future, will be opened on 1 December, 2025. Read more about the new entrance building on Korkeasaari Zoo's website.
