Information about the arrangements
The renovation of Mannerheimintie entails replacing the 100-year-old underground utility supplies as well as street surface structures. Pedestrian and cycle paths will be upgraded and new tram tracks will be installed. The second phase of the renovation between Runeberginkatu and Reijolankatu will begin in September. The renovation will affect tram and bus services until late 2025.
HSL is not responsible for the work, but we plan the diversion routes. We have planned the diversion routes with the aim that the work would cause as little disruption to public transport passengers as possible.
