The focus of next year’s budget will be on social security, with most of the investment going into roads, streets and education.

According to the draft budget for Tallinn 2023, the priorities in the field of transport are the development and modernization of the public transport network and improving environmental approaches of public transport in the capital. It will also ensure that public transport continues to be free of charge for the residents of Tallinn.

Due to the construction of a pedestrian tunnel on Paldiski road, Baltic Station will be closed for rail traffic from July 15 to 21. During this period, the starting and ending points for passenger trains will be at Lilleküla, Kitseküla, and Tallinn-Väike train stops.

Starting August 1st, tram lines No. 3 and 4 will resume service to the Tondi terminus.

Starting Monday, August 19, all five tram lines in Tallinn will be back in operation. Tram services had been temporarily disrupted due to the construction of the Old City Harbour tram line and the construction of a grade-separated railway crossing at Tondi.

Several roadworks in the city are nearing completion, bringing some relief to traffic and allowing certain bus lines that were previously diverted to return to their usual routes. However, ongoing projects in Tallinn will continue to affect traffic in the coming weeks.

The City of Tallinn has begun informing residents about upcoming street repairs for the next week. At the start of each week, Tallinn updates its social media and website with information about road and street repair works to keep residents informed about developments in their neighborhoods.

Starting November 1, the new Tondi underpass will allow safe and seamless crossing under the railway tracks.

A new stormwater filtration solution will be installed in Tondimõisa Park in the Kristiine district to treat stormwater collected from the Tammsaare tee–Pärnu maantee catchment area and reduce local flood risks.
