Content of the project
- The linking of Asematunneli and Itsenäisyydenkatu tunnels to form a passenger terminal will enable smooth travel chains.
- A tram stop under the Itsenäisyydenkatu underpass will facilitate transfers between modes of transport and provide unobstructed access to the railway station area.
- The new 3rd island platform will allow for more passenger train services and reduce congestion in the yard.
- The new shelters will provide comfort and a comfortable place to wait for the train, protected from the rain.
- All lift and escalator connections to the platforms will be renewed.
- Several bridges that have reached the end of their life cycle will be renewed.
- Track, safety and electric track modifications will upgrade the passenger yard technology to meet growing needs.
- Improving the throughput and building the Naistenlahti track system for service traffic will require the renovation of the Erkkilä overpass.
- The relocation of the passenger service tracks to the Naistenlahti sidings will allow the capacity of the passenger yard to be increased, as the maintenance of passenger rolling stock will not take up space in the passenger yard.
