Published: 5.8.2026
Temporary traffic arrangements will be in place at the junction of Hietalahdenkatu and Raastuvankatu from 17–28 August 2026 while work is carried out to renovate the water supply network.
During the works, traffic on Hietalahdenkatu will continue as normal. However, turning from Hietalahdenkatu onto Raastuvankatu will not be permitted from either direction. In addition, left turns from Raastuvankatu towards Rantamaantie will not be permitted. If necessary, the safety barrier at the junction will be temporarily removed to allow right turns from Raastuvankatu towards the Central Hospital.
A temporary speed limit of 30 km/h will be in place at the Hietalahdenkatu–Raastuvankatu junction, and the traffic lights will be out of operation for the duration of the works. Traffic will return to normal once the renovation work is complete.
