The EU’s TEN-T Programme will back with almost EUR 2.5 million studies on the railroad development between Pasila (Helsinki) and Riihimäki in southern Finland. Total project cost is EUR 4,920,000 of which percentage of EU support is 50%.
The Helsinki-Riihimaki railway line is the busiest in Finland in both passenger and freight transport. Currently the line’s capacity does not meet the transport demand, causing delays with a negative impact on the entire Finnish rail network.
This project will come up with a number of rail development plans – including geological studies, measurements and expertise planning – to improve and enlarge the rail line between both cities. It is planned to develop four stations, construct two new freight traffic tracks and double the number of tracks in a current bottleneck section.
The final project’s objective is to improve the competitiveness of rail traffic by reducing the journey length and ensuring sufficient capacity and service level.
