The transfer of motor vehicle traffic will take place between Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu and Cygnaeuksenkatu.
One lane in each direction will remain in use in the site area, but the traffic arrangements may slow down traffic.
Access to the properties along the street will be maintained at all times. There may be short interruptions from time to time, which will be announced separately.
Work on the renovation of Mannerheimintie is progressing at a good pace. The main water pipeline between Töölönlahdenkatu and Dunckerinkatu is complete.
"The work is on schedule. A second kilometre of new tram track has already been installed and 800 metres of main water pipeline have been completed. Efforts are being made to catch up on the delay in the renovation of Mannerheimintie bridge. In any case, the work will be completed within the original overall schedule," says Project Manager Antti-Juhani Lehtinen of the City of Helsinki.
(beginning of August)
800 m of new main water pipeline complete
10,000 m2 of new asphalt laid
1,000 m of kerbstone laid
7,000 m of cable ducts installed
20,000 m3 of new crushed aggregate
1,250 track metres of tram rails installed (about half of the rails in the first phase)
The renovation of Mannerheimintie will be carried out in two parts. The first to be renovated is the section between the Postikatu and Runeberginkatu streets in 2023-2024. During the rest of 2024, the work will move between Runeberginkatu and Reijolankatu.
