Buses
During the special arrangement, the buses that normally run along Hämeentie will run via Sörnäisten rantatie and then resume their own routes on Hämeentie or Mäkelänkatu. In other words, routes 73, 74, 623, 711, 721 and 731 serving Hakaniemi and routes 61, 64, 65, 66, 67, 600, 611, 71, 75, 77, 78/N, 717, 739, 785K, 787K and 788K serving the Railway Square (Rautatientori) will be diverted.

The buses will serve the stops named “Hanasaari” (H2514 and H2515), “Käenkuja” (H2517) and “Junatie” (H2180) along the diversion route. In addition, buses departing from Hakaniemi will serve the “Suvilahti” (H2516) stop, whereas buses departing from the Railway Square will serve the “Suvilahti” (H2518) stop that is closer to Junatie. All buses will serve the same stop named “Suvilahti” (H2519) in the direction of Helsinki city center.
Additionally, excavation work is being carried out along the diversion route, which may cause delays to services.
