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
The base asphalt layers have now been completed, and the next paving works will take place during the week beginning 14 September. Installation of the granite stones is progressing at the intersection of Kuninkaankatu and Puutarhakatu.
Finishing work on surface structures will continue at the intersection areas, while most of the remaining work phases will be concentrated east of Aleksis Kiven katu. During the week beginning 31 August, we will start repair work on an old water supply valve on Aleksis Kiven katu in front of the Kela office. During this phase of the work, the parking spaces in front of Kela will be temporarily unavailable.
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.
