Läksyportti underpass renovation affects traffic arrangements in Espoonlahti
The Soukanväylä bridge crossing the Läksyportti pedestrian and cycle path will be replaced. During the construction work, the road will only have one lane in each direction and there will also be other temporary traffic arrangements in the area.
The old tubular steel underpass structure will be demolished and replaced with cantilever slab bridges made of reinforced concrete. In addition to the bridge work, park paths linked to Soukanväylä and the underpass will be built, landscaping work will be carried out and new trees will be planted in the area. The project also includes the installation and construction of water supply and sewer pipes, district heating pipes and other technical networks as well as stone and asphalt works. The lighting in the area will also be replaced.
Key stages of traffic arrangements
In the first stage, the bridge on the eastern side of the site will be built, and traffic will be directed to the western side of the bridge.
In the second stage, work will be done on the western bridge, and traffic will be diverted through a temporary road to the eastern side of the bridge under construction.
Separate traffic management plans have been prepared for the duration of the construction project, including maps of diversion routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
