Pronksi Street reconstruction works continue in Tallinn City Centre; however, starting today, the Pronksi–Raua and Pronksi–Gonsiori intersections are open to traffic.

The Härjapea River Bridge, believed to have been constructed in the 18th century, was uncovered during reconstruction works on the Jõe and Pronksi streets. Preserving the bridge would not cause significant changes in the construction work schedule.

Due to ongoing roadworks in Tallinn City Centre, residents are advised to use public transport and plan extra time for their journeys. The challenging traffic conditions are partially alleviated in the autumn by the gradual restoration of tram lines and the reopening of several intersections for cars.

The renovation of Jõe and Pronksi streets is coming to a close, and the streets will be open to traffic on Friday, October 20. The traffic situation will also be improved with the simultaneous opening of the Narva mnt–Jõe–Pronksi and Narva mnt–Laikmaa–Hobujaama intersections. The street opening will bring several changes to the bus routes passing through the city center.

On Wednesday, October 25, road resurfacing work will take place on Kreutzwaldi Street, between Tartu maantee and Gonsiori Street. Due to the construction, the bus routes No. 9, 31, 35, 42, 46, and 55 in Tallinn's city center will be temporarily altered.

The northern section of Ahtri Street in the Tallinn city centre will reopen to traffic on Monday, 6 November, improving traffic flow in the area.

This November, Tallinn commenced the construction of its first circular economy center in the Kristiine district, with plans underway for another center on the property at Punane 68a in Lasnamäe.

On Wednesday, December 6, the segment of Gonsiori Street between Reimani and Laikmaa streets will reopen to city centre-bound vehicle traffic, restoring routes to Estonia Boulevard. This section had been closed since April due to the construction of the Old City Harbour tramway. The reopening of this segment, along with the earlier opening of major nearby intersections, significantly improves traffic in the city centre.

One of the priorities in Tallinn's 2024 budget is the development of a comfortable and safe urban space, which includes investments in transportation infrastructure and making streets more pedestrian-friendly. The city budget has allocated over 47.5 million euros for the reconstruction and major repairs of roads and streets. Key projects for the coming year include the reconstruction of Peterburi maantee and Lastekodu Street, the construction of pedestrian tunnels on Paldiski maantee, the reconstruction of the Kadaka viaduct, and the construction of the first phase of Pollinator Highway green corridor.

Starting Monday, January 15, the route of bus line No. 35 will change in the city centre on Narva maantee and Pronksi Street.
