Renovation of Puutarhakatu
After the renovation, the street will have a wider two-way cycle track on the northern edge, pavements on both sides and a one-way carriageway for motor vehicles. The renovation will improve walking and cycling conditions and road safety, and make the street a more pleasant environment. The management of stormwater, i.e. rainwater and meltwater, will also be improved.

Construction works in August
During the week beginning 10 August, paving works will commence at the intersection of Kuninkaankatu and Puutarhakatu. The work will be carried out in phases and will require changes to traffic arrangements. We will provide updates on these arrangements as the work progresses. The estimated duration of this phase is approximately seven weeks.
Preparations are underway for the resurfacing of the Hämeenpuisto intersection. The asphalt paving is currently scheduled to take place during night-time at the end of the week beginning 17 August. At the Näsilinnankatu intersection, repairs to an old wastewater line are being carried out with no significant impact on traffic. Concrete paving of the sidewalks is largely complete, while slab paving and the installation of street furniture continue.
Trees will be planted along the street during the autumn.

The aim is to renovate as much as possible in one go, in cooperation between the different actors, so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible and in as short a time as possible.
The renovation of the City Hall and the construction of a new building at the corner of Puutarhakatu and Aleksis Kiven katu are also underway. City Hall and its new building will be completed in spring 2026.
