We are building a one-kilometre stretch of railway between Helsinki and Riihimäki. The project will improve the functionality of the busiest railway track section in Finland.

At the same time as new tram lines are being busily built in Greater Helsinki and Tampere, the opportunities provided by rail connections have also become a hot topic in many other areas. The new coming of rail traffic is primarily based on the requirements set by sustainability and a denser urban structure.

The Crown Bridges project is one way for the City of Helsinki to prepare itself for the population growth and increased traffic. In addition to the tramway, the project involves the construction of five new bridges.

The Crown Bridges project builds much more than bridges and tramways. The project creates a new urban structure and prepares Helsinki for the increase in the population.

YIT’s SORAMIX work method that is used in gravel roads saves time, money and the environment. The Pyhäjoki–Vihanti 790 road in Raahe was repaired by using this method.

The construction industry pays more and more attention to the environment and sustainable development. At YIT, these matters are developed systematically. But how is the environment taken into consideration in the various stages of infrastructure construction?

Finland is updating level crossings along railways in order to improve traffic safety. Residents on Linderintie are excited about the project, which will also protect children on their way to school.

Is there a new construction site on your neighbouring plot? It can cause noise, dust, detours and service breaks. Construction sites are much easier to tolerate when the site invests in active communications and interaction with residents and others in the area.
