Excavation work for the main line development begins in Hornankallio
The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency has announced that excavation work related to the Helsinki–Riihimäki railway line development project will begin in Hornankallio, Tuusula, on Monday, 9 February. The excavation work will cause temporary noise and traffic disruption in the area.
The excavation work is part of a project to build two new tracks between Purola and Nuppulinna, alongside the existing double track. The additional tracks will enable smoother train traffic and increase the capacity of the line.
Last autumn, space was excavated in the Hornankallio area for one future track on the western side of the railway line. Excavation work is now beginning on the eastern side of the railway line, where the area is being prepared for a second new track.
The excavation work will cause temporary noise and traffic disruption in the area. Excavation will mainly take place on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The work will be carried out in such a way as to minimise the impact on residents.
– Excavation work will create additional space so that the new additional track can be built alongside the existing double track. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the work and thank the residents of the area for their understanding, says Piia Jokihaara, Project Engineer at the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency.
The excavation work at Hornankallio is expected to continue until the end of 2026. The additional tracks between Purola and Nuppulinna will be completed at the end of 2028.
