February 5, 2021 - (Helsinki, Finland) Helsinki is investing in progressive cycling infrastructure to reach its goal of becoming ‘the most functional city in the world’. The development of the €23 million ‘Kaisa’ bicycle tunnel beneath the city’s Central Station marks a significant commitment towards achieving a desired balance across all transport modes. This commitment is in line with Helsinki’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2035, a target which has been integrated into the city’s Bicycle Action Plan 2020-2025.

Construction has already begun on the Kaisa tunnel and is set to be completed by 2023. Once complete, the tunnel shall provide a crucial link between the east and west sides of the ‘Baana’ bicycle superhighway network, accommodating estimated daily cycling volumes between 6,000 and 10,000 people.
