Why is the Vuosaari road tunnel being renovated and what will the benefits be?
“The Vuosaari road tunnel needs to be repaired because its safety systems and other equipment that help traffic flow are reaching the end of their life cycle. At the same time, other repairs will be carried out in the tunnel. This will keep the tunnel safe and traffic flowing smoothly in the future.”
