Pöyry, YIT and VR Track have signed an agreement with the City of Tampere for the implementation of the Tampere light rail project. The revised cost estimate for the implementation stage is EUR 238.8 million.
The first phase of construction will commence in the first half of 2017 and is expected to last until 2021. During this phase, the new rail line will extend 15 km, from the city centre to Hervanta and to the Central Hospital, and a depot will be constructed in Hervanta.
According to the plans, the second phase of construction will take place in 2021-2024. It will expand the rail network from the city centre to Lentävänniemi.
The project will be implemented using the alliance model, with YIT, VR Track and Pöyry providing the service ordered by the City of Tampere. In the alliance model, the client, designers and contractors co-operate throughout the implementation.
