Turku on track for sustainable growth

The tramway is part of the growing city’s public transport reform, which will ensure that everyday life and mobility in Turku will continue to run smoothly in the future.

The final planning phase of the Port-Varissuo tramway is now underway, ahead of possible construction.

• We are preparing drafts of the street plans and principles of traffic management.
• We calculate the cost of building the tramway and plan a construction schedule.
• We prepare the procurement of the trams.

During the planning process, the necessary zoning changes will also be made and the effects of the tramway will be assessed extensively, including on land use, the local economy and businesses.

The tramway will be built if the Turku City Council decides to invest in the tramway in late 2025.

Previous plans and studies related to the tramway can be found on the City of Turku website.

The planned route of the Port-Varissuo tramway is 12 km long and has 20 tram stops.

The tramway will connect Turku’s growing areas and major urban development sites, such as the maritime Turku, the city centre and the Science Park. Tramway brings predictability and strengthens confidence in the long-term development of the city.

The Turku Tramway route runs from the port of Turku via the city centre to Varissuo. The depot is planned at the end of Kiertotähdentie in Iso-Heikkilä. The route is about 12 km long and has 20 pairs of stops.
