Tram route 7 to be diverted via Aleksis Kiven katu from 11 April and trams 3 and 9 to resume their normal routes

Tram route 7 will be diverted as of 11 April. The reason for the diversion is the construction of a new tram line between Kalasatama and Pasila. The tram will run from the Sörnäinen Metro Station to the Pasila railway station via Urheilutalo and Aleksis Kiven katu. The tram will not serve the section on Mäkelänkatu. Buses will continue to serve Mäkelänkatu. Additionally, tram 1 will also continue to serve Mäkelänkatu until 12 June. Trams 3 and 9 will resume their normal routes in Kallio.

Tram route 7 will be diverted as of Monday 11 April. The reason for the diversion is a construction site related to the new tram line between Kalasatama and Pasila, which will be moved to Radanrakentajantie in Itä-Pasila.
