Modification work on the roundabout at Ratatie near Dixi

The tram tunnel builders will begin preparations for relocating the bus terminal, which is why modification work on the roundabout at Ratatie near the Dixi shopping centre will take place in December. The shape of the roundabout will be changed, requiring excavation work and manual stonework within the roundabout.

Pedestrian routes will remain unchanged.
Cars can still pass through the roundabout, but turning around will not be possible.

Work on Ratatie will continue on 22 and 23 December and again during the week starting 29 December. No work will be carried out on public holidays.

Tikkurila Station and the Dixi shopping centre will operate as normal.
 

Preparations for construction start on Tikkurilantie on 7 January 2026

On Tikkurilantie, between Kielotie and Puutarhatie, a few workers will be preparing future traffic arrangements. These works will not cause significant noise and will not disturb the neighbourhood.

On 7 January 2026, however, street construction will begin on Tikkurilantie, which will affect traffic.
