Preparations for renovating the Vuosaari road tunnel begin outside at the Harbour end of the tunnel in week 34.  The work area is expanded in week 35 to include the Satamakaari ramp. One of the lanes away from Vuosaari Harbour is closed.

The autumn school semester will soon bring a large number of new people to traffic, as first-graders start going to school. Fintraffic and the Finnish Road Safety Council want to remind everyone of the importance of safety on the way to school. As schoolchildren fill the streets, it is important for drivers to pay even more attention to traffic rules and observing their environment. Parents are responsible for teaching their children how to stay safe on the way to school and back.

Rail traffic has continued to increase in April-June, especially in commuter train traffic. Trains arrived at their destinations more punctually than at the same time last year. In air traffic, the number of domestic and international flights has remained at the same level as during last year’s second quarter, but the number of overflights through Finnish airspace has decreased substantially. Growth in volume of heavy goods traffic halted on roads after the spring. Demand for traffic data is growing: Fintraffic’s digital services attracted 2.6 million visits, which is 40% more than the year before.

The official alternative route for the Vuosaari road tunnel was tested between 16 and 18 June.

Midsummer traffic will start towards the end of the week. Fintraffic, the police, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, the Finnish Road Safety Council, the Emergency Response Centre Agency, and the Ministry of the Interior Department for Rescue Services wish you a safe Midsummer on the road. Drivers should remember to anticipate, only drive when they are fit to do so and take their time during this Midsummer. Check the road traffic forecasts and roadworks now and review what to do in accident situations.

Improvements to the alternative route for the Vuosaari road tunnel have mostly been completed, and the next step is to test the functioning of the route with traffic from 16 to 18 June. During the testing, the tunnel will be closed, and traffic will be directed to the improved alternative route. Planning for the renovation of the tunnel's technical systems is also progressing: planning of the renovation phases is under way, and as the work progresses, the schedule for the tunnel's closure later this year will be confirmed.

Demand for flight route services increased in 2024, even though air traffic in Finland recovered more slowly than in the rest of Europe. Air navigation services were provided for nearly 242,000 flights in area control and for over 153,000 take-offs and landings at Helsinki Airport. The number of overflights through Finnish airspace increased by more than 65,000 flights.

The Finnish aviation community is seeking shared solutions and coordinated measures to reduce unruly behaviour. In May, just before the busiest flight season, the community launches a joint campaign titled “Put yourself in flight mode”.

On 1 May 2025, the busiest fairways in the Port of Turku will introduce new meeting and overtaking prohibition areas for merchant vessels, which will harmonise and clarify traffic regulations in the area.
