Main line development work will bring track changes to Jokela station
The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency has announced that excavation work will be carried out as part of the railway development project between Helsinki and Riihimäki, which will result in the platform and track adjacent to Jokela station being out of use on weekdays during daytime hours from 25 August onwards.
Excavation work is being carried out in the area between Hornankallio and Tyynelä to make room for the construction of additional tracks. The work is expected to continue until the end of 2025. The excavation work will cause noise and dust nuisance, about which local residents will be informed separately.
Due to excavation work, the western track between Purola and Jokela is out of service, which affects the tracks used by trains in Jokela. From Monday 25 August 2025, the platform next to the Jokela station building and track 1 will be out of use on weekdays between 10:15 and 15:00. Trains travelling in the direction of both Helsinki and Hyvinkää will use tracks 2 and 3 during this time.
During the busiest times of the morning and afternoon, the platform next to the station and track 1 are in normal use. When travelling, it is still a good idea to check the correct departure track, for example on the platform displays.
Between Kytömaa and Ainola, work continues on cutting and piling, as well as reinforcement and concreting. The substructures for the western track will be completed by the end of the year.
