The condition of the junction bridges on Kauppapuistikko and Hietalahdenkatu in Vaasa will be inspected from 1 to 3 October 2025. During this time, some traffic lanes will be temporarily closed. The Korkeamäki junction bridge on Hirventie will also be inspected on 22 October 2025.
The condition inspections of the junction bridges located at Kauppapuistikko and Hietalahdenkatu will take place from Wednesday to Friday, 1–3 October 2025. On Kauppapuistikko, one lane of each bridge will be closed at a time while the work is carried out. On Hietalahdenkatu, one lane beneath the junction bridges will remain closed for the duration of the work. Temporary traffic lights will be used to guide traffic.
Work will also be carried out on the pedestrian and cycle paths crossing under the junction bridges, but unobstructed access past the worksite will be ensured for both walkers and cyclists.
The Korkeamäki junction bridge will be closed later in October
The Korkeamäki junction bridge on Hirventie will be closed on Wednesday 22 October 2025 for a condition inspection. The inspection will not be carried out in rainy weather, so the work will be done weather permitting. The city will provide more detailed information about the traffic arrangements closer to the scheduled time.
