Work on the Vantaa Light Rail continues — tracks 3 and 4 will be out of use from 5 September to 17 October in the Tikkurila station area
Preparatory work on the Vantaa Light Rail will continue in the Tikkurila station area. Track 2 will be out of use from 5 September to 17 October. Noisy construction work will be carried out around the clock between September 19 and 8 October. Tikkurila station will operate as normal throughout this period.
During the interruption to rail traffic, construction work will be carried out at track 2. Some of the work will cause noise, and noisy work will also be occasionally carried out at night. Noisy nighttime construction work will be carried out between September 19 and 8 October, during which time the construction site will be active around the clock.
We will inform you if there are any changes to these planned times. We need to carry out noisy work at night because there is less traffic on the main railway at night, and our work must accommodate railway traffic.
Examples of work that will cause noise include the installation of sheet pile walls and bored pile driving. During interruptions to rail traffic, temporary bridges will be put in place in the track and station platform area. The construction of the tunnel can continue under these bridges even after the interruptions to rail traffic. Piling wall structures will also be installed in the excavation during the interruption to rail traffic.
We will monitor the noise level, and we have built a noise barrier to reduce noise at the commuter traffic terminal, for example. We will carry out the work with as little noise as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your patience.
If you wish, you can pick up earplugs from Tikkurila Library at Lummetie 4 during the library's opening hours.
