The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency has announced that this summer will be marked by considerable railway construction activities affecting train services nationwide. These efforts include extensive works on both long-distance and local train routes, aimed at improving infrastructure, although they will inevitably cause some disruption to travelers. The agency emphasizes that they will strive to minimize the impact on normal service schedules.

Notable areas affected include the urban rail line in Espoo and the Helsinki-Riihimäki corridor, along with renovations at the Tampere rail yard and upgrades along the Kouvola-Luumäki section. In addition, various construction projects in the capital region will also influence traffic, leading to a potential increase in travel times and service frequency adjustments. Passengers are encouraged to plan ahead and check for local updates regarding their specific routes.

With construction impacting links such as the Malmi-Tikkurila line, where station renovations are underway and traffic frequency will be reduced from June 1 to August 9, commuters will experience altered travel schedules. The report highlights the importance of public awareness in navigating these changes, advising passengers to stay informed through updated travel alerts and announcements during this busy construction season.
