Tramway drives urban growth and a smoother everyday life in Turku
We are planning a tramway from the Turku ferry terminal via the city centre to Varissuo.
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.
Now underway the final planning phase of the tramway before possible construction.
Construction can start if the Turku City Council decides to invest in the tramway. The decision can be taken once the decision-making material is ready in late 2025.
About the tramway
The planned route of the Port-Varissuo tramway is 12 km long and has 20 tram stops.
A 12-kilometre tramway is planned to run from the port to Varissuo via the city centre and Kupittaa.
The route connects growing areas and major development sites, such as Linnakaupunki, the city centre and the Science Park.
