📋 Tender Overview
The new two-track railway bridge will be piled and the Nummi underpass will be built from June to November. Piling work on the Aura River causes noise in the surrounding area. As a result of the construction better rail connections are expected.In the Aura River piles will be built both for the intermediate supports of the new railway bridge and for retaining walls to be built on the shore. Work is carried out on weekdays from 7 am to 18 pm. Piling work causes noise in the surrounding area.In addition there will be intermittent lane closures at the Nummi underpass on Helsinginkatu in the coming weeks as the bored piles between the lanes of the central pillars will be carried out with large machines. The piles are also big. It requires space and ensuring safety.We apologize for the noise and traffic inconvenience caused by the piling work and thank residents and motorists for their forbearance. We believe that the new railway bridge is worth the wait says Project Manager Erkki Mkel from the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency.The new railway bridge on the Aura River is an important part of the development of rail traffic in Turku and western Finland as a whole. Patience with noise and other temporary construction nuisances will be rewarded with better rail connections.The planned service life of the future railway bridge is 100 years and its construction will continue until 2024. The bridge will be 166 metres long and will be of the tensioned concrete beam bridge type.
