Construction sites affecting traffic in the city centre

The Itsenäisyydenkatu underpass and the Asematunneli tunnel running inside the railway station will be combined into a smooth travel terminal featuring, for example, a new tram stop. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency’s Tampere Railway Station Development Project will be completed in 2031. The tram will run through the underpass throughout the construction period, but there will be alternative routes for pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicles in the area during construction.

The renovated bridge has dedicated lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. The bridge will be raised, widened and given a new look as part of the Finnish Transport Agency's Tampere Passenger Yard project. The old blue arches have been taken to Näsisaari for reuse. The new bridge will be opened for pedestrians and cyclists on Thursday 28 May at 15:00, more than two months ahead of schedule!

The new Särkänsilta bridge will connect the Särkänniemi area on the shore of Lake Näsijärvi more closely to the city centre and facilitate access to the entertainment area in the future, especially from the city centre and the shore routes in the direction of Ranta-Tampella. The new bridge will be open to pedestrians in 2026.

The widening of the Frenckell bridges will improve pedestrian and cyclist access along Valssipadonraitti in the future, as the route will become part of the city’s main cycling network. During the first year, the work will focus on the passage running through Frenckell and the surrounding bridges. The project will begin on 3 June with the demolition of the old bridges and the construction of a temporary bridge across the rapids.
