Motorway being covered by deck in Hämeenlinna
The City of Hämeenlinna is building a 230-metre deck over highway 3 between Paasikiventie and Turuntie. The deck will join the western and eastern parts of the city centre. Construction work began in September 2011, with the deck set for completion in June 2013. The schedule for the deck project is 1 September 2011 – 17 June 2013.
Construction company NCC will build apartment buildings and a shopping centre of around 60 shops on the deck. The buildings are due for completion during autumn 2014.
Forming part of the development project for the western city centre, the covering of highway 3 will be carried out through cooperation between the city and NCC.
The construction project will alter traffic arrangements in Hämeenlinna. Examples include:
- the construction of a new motorway ramp in the Tampere direction
- Kaivokatu and Eureninkatu will become two-way streets
- the old motorway bridges on Turuntie and Paasikiventie will be demolished and replaced by new bridges
In addition to traffic changes in Hämeenlinna caused by construction of the motorway deck and ramps, the speed limit on highway 3 will be temporarily limited to 50–80 kph in the area of the construction site.
The weekly maps about the traffic changes (pdf-files) are on the web page Ajankohtaista.
