According to the weather forecast, heavy snow and sleet are expected to reach southern Estonia after midnight, quickly spreading north. Blizzards are likely in some areas, creating hazardous driving conditions. The City of Tallinn is on high alert to ensure snow clearing and de-icing operations are carried out effectively.
All eight districts of Tallinn have now signed contracts with service providers responsible for snow removal and de-icing. A new measure this season is that, in addition to roadways, the city will also clear all sidewalks owned by the city.
The City of Tallinn is planning a major redesign of the Kristiine junction to improve mobility for everyone and prepare for the future tramline extension.
The new pedestrian tunnels on Endla Street will provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists between the city centre and Kristiine.
