110-year-old bridge to be replaced
The 110-year-old bridge located on Jätkasaarenlaituri, south of Länsilinkki, will be replaced. The works include the construction of a new turning lane as well as the replacement of seawalls and utility infrastructure, including wires and cables. The works began in autumn 2024, and the new bridge is expected to be completed in late 2026. Tram routes will be diverted for five weeks, but at other times trams will run past the construction site as normal.
HSL plans the diversion routes and informs passengers about the service changes. We have planned the diversion routes with the aim that the works would cause as little disruption to passengers as possible
You can read more about the bridge renovation on the City of Helsinki’s website.
