Tram route 10 will be diverted from Monday 15 August 2022 until August 2023 due to the construction tracks to a new tram depot in Ruskeasuo and improvement of Korppaanmäentie.
Tram stops between Kuusitie and Korppaanmäentie, i.e. the “Tilkka”, “Ruskeasuo”, “Kytösuontie”, “Haapalahdenkatu” and “Korppaanmäki” stops will not be served.
In addition, tram route 3 will be temporarily diverted away from Kuusitie to avoid congestion. Tram 3 will run to the Töölö tram depot. The “Kuusitie”, “Jalavatie” and “Töölöntulli” tram stops will not be served. The terminus of line 3 will be moved further on to Meilahti Hospital on 19 December 2022, more information in the separate traffic bulletin.
Between Kuusitie and Ruskeasuo, tram 10 will be replaced by regular bus services running along Mannerheimintie. For example, trunk bus routes 40, 200, 300 and 400 and a number of other buses run from Ruskeasuo to Elielinaukio in the city center. Trunk bus routes 200 and 300 also serve the “Ruskeasuon varikko” and “Talontie” bus stops.
During the diversion, replacement bus 10X will run from Meilahti to Pikku Huopalahti. The replacement bus will run close to the Kuusitie tram stops, allowing easy interchanges between tram 10 and the replacement bus. The service will be operated with minibuses and it will serve the “Kytösuo”, “Haapalahdenkatu” and “Korppaanmäki” stops. In addition, bus 10X will serve the temporary “Tilkan sairaala” and “Lääkintälotanrinne” stops on Tilkankatu.

Background to the arrangement
The arrangement is due to the construction of tracks to Ruskeasuo tram depot and improvement works on Korppaanmäentie. The new Ruskeasuo tram depot will be the second main depot of Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd. The new depot is part of a major overhaul of the depot network. The works will also affect other traffic on Mannerheimintie and on other streets in the area. For example, Nauvontie will be closed to traffic.
