In July last year, reconstruction began on the Kadaka puiestee bridge in Tallinn, which had reached the end of its service life and become structurally unsafe. As of Monday, the new bridge will be complete and open to traffic. Public transport will return to its regular routes in the first half of next week.
Due to the persistent snowfall, traffic conditions in Tallinn remain difficult, so residents are advised to take more time for the journey and use public transport if possible.
A freezing rain warning has been issued for this Friday, which means ice is very likely to form on the streets. In the coming days, property owners need to be conscientious and all road users need to be mindful and consider the weather by choosing the right speeds, distances, tyres and footwear.
Tallinn launched a campaign “Dust Kills”, which calls on drivers to prefer all-season tires in winter conditions and thus contribute to a cleaner living environment for themselves and their children.
In order to allow for winter maintenance of the streets, this week the flexible traffic posts between the marked bicycle lanes and the main roads will be removed on Endla Street and Kaarli Puiestee.
