Construction of the Satamatie–Järveläntie Roundabout Progresses – Commissioning in Early June

In response to the significant increase in traffic volumes within the port area, traffic arrangements are being upgraded to enhance both traffic flow and safety. Construction of the new roundabout at the intersection of Satamatie and Järveläntie is currently in progress.

Schedule and Impact on Traffic 

The new roundabout will be opened to traffic and commissioned in early June.

Following its commissioning, the intersection area will be fully operational, immediately facilitating smoother traffic flows within the port.

Finalisation works on the roundabout and its surrounding areas, together with the installation of new signage, will continue throughout summer 2026.

As construction activities will still be ongoing and temporary traffic arrangements may be subject to change, all road users are requested to exercise heightened caution, maintain an appropriate driving speed, and comply with temporary traffic guidance.

Improved Signage and Traffic Flow 

The new roundabout, together with the comprehensive signage system to be finalised the summer, has been designed to serve all port users more effectively.

The signage system takes into account the specific needs of different user groups:

Heavy goods traffic: Clear route guidance to vessels, terminals, and unloading areas

Passenger vehicles: Consistent and unambiguous guidance for embarking passengers, drop-off traffic, and access to port parking facilities

Pedestrians and cyclists: Clearly designated and safe routes for pedestrian and bicycle traffic

We extend our sincere thanks to all partners and passengers for their cooperation and flexibility during the construction works.
