The opening of the Kaisantunneli tunnel was celebrated on Saturday 4 May with speeches and ribbon cut by Mayor of Helsinki. The new pedestrian and cycling connection is cause for celebration, as it facilitates transport between Kaisaniemi Park and Kansalaistori Square. The underpass shortens the distance from one side of the tracks to the other by approximately 600 metres. In addition, it avoids traffic lights at four intersections in front of the railway station.
The implementation phase of the Kaisantunneli contract began in April 2021. The tunnel is approximately 220 metres long, 8 metres wide and 3 metres high. The bike lane is 4 metres wide, and the pedestrian lane 3.5 metres wide.
The bicycle garage connected to the tunnel will open in the early summer.
