What are the differences between Opas.matka.fi and Google Maps?

The improvements of the alternative route of the road tunnel leading to Vuosaari Harbour continue according to plan. Following the winter break, the work will continue on week 8 when gabion baskets are installed in the junction of Itäväylä and Kallvikintie.

Kasvufoorum 2025, which took place in Helsinki in January, brought together smart traffic experts to discuss cooperation, innovations and the way Finland can use its full potential for building a competitive and data-driven future.

The police and Fintraffic work closely together to ensure smooth and safe traffic, especially in exceptional situations.

Commuter train traffic in Finland grew strongly in Q4/2024. This growth can be attributed to the completion of the Tikkurila railyard and the new route on the Karjaa–Hanko line.

It is the task of air traffic control to anticipate the effects of winter weather conditions and runway closures on the ground and in the air. If necessary, air traffic is controlled to provide realistic runway time for each arriving and departing flight.

Luxembourg Air Navigation Administration, which is responsible for air navigation services in Luxembourg, has simulated new air traffic control working methods in Finland.

Digirail and Mipro Oy have signed an agreement to supply external controllers to Digirail’s first commercial track section (the so-called EKA track section), on the Lielahti-Rauma/Pori line.

Freight traffic volumes continued to grow in July-September, especially in rail traffic.

The alternative route for Vuosaari road tunnel on the section Itäväylä–Kallvikintie–Niinisaarentie–Vuosaari Harbour will be improved during late 2024 and spring 2025. Roadworks on the alternative route begin on Monday, 14 October 2024.  By improving the route, we are preparing for the extensive renovation of the Vuosaari tunnel’s technical features, which begins next year and will last for nearly one year, during which time the alternative route of the tunnel will serve as a detour.

Electric scooters can now be found in the opas.matka.fi journey planner. In the early stages, users can search for scooters on routes in the HSL area for those operators that have provided scooter location and reservation information for journey planners. As safety is top priority for Fintraffic, we would like to remind you of the importance of observing traffic rules. When renting an electric scooter, always make an effort to ensure your own safety and that of your fellow travellers with responsible traffic behaviour.

The new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) of the European Union, which entered into force last September, sets increasingly stringent requirements for corporate sustainability reporting. This is also reflected in Fintraffic’s operations, where collection of data in accordance with the new requirements will commence in 2025. The first CSRD-compliant report is due to be published the following year.

The Destia Winter Maintenance Management Centre utilises the road weather information provided by Fintraffic on a daily basis, all year round. Fintraffic road weather data makes it possible to carry out maintenance measures in the road network in a timely manner. This helps to save costs.
