Field surveys along the Itärata railway line
The planning of the Itärata railway line between the capital region and Kouvola is progressing to the stage of terrain surveys for the route alignment. The first surveys and measurements will begin in April. A small section of the route alignment is located in the southernmost parts of Tuusula.
The Itärata project is progressing towards the general planning stage, in which the location of the track will be specified as a corridor approximately 200 metres wide. In order to take the characteristics of the terrain into account as accurately as possible in the planning, terrain measurements and surveys will be carried out along the track alignment.
A route alignment has been selected for the further planning of the Itärata, which branches off from the Lentorata railway line currently also in the planning stage, in the vicinity of Maantiekylä in Tuusula. The route alignment running through the tunnel runs alongside the Sammonmäki and Kulomäki employment areas.
Soil surveys and measurements are carried out along the entire 100-kilometre-long railway line so that the terrain characteristics can be taken into account as accurately as possible in the design.
Field surveys are planned so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to landowners and the environment. Landowners are contacted before the surveys begin so that the field surveys and access routes to the survey sites can be agreed with them. Landowners can also suggest alternative routes in advance on the Itärada website.
