ADVANCE NOTICE REGARDING KOIVUKANTA FERRY TRAFFIC

Dredging and blasting works at the Koivukanta ferry route will restrict ferry operations during weekday night-time hours.

• is available only for emergency and rescue vehicles within a revised operating schedule to be agreed separately with the authorities
• is subject to a traffic interruption during the night-time period, for example from 23.00 to 05.00

Short traffic disruptions and interruptions may also occur during daytime hours.

During the works, Fintraffic Oy's Road Traffic Centre will provide information on traffic disruptions 24 hours a day.
