Turku on track for sustainable growth
We are planning a tramway from the Port of Turku 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.
The final planning phase of the Port-Varissuo tramway is now underway, ahead of possible construction.
The tramway will be built if the Turku City Council decides to invest in the tramway in late 2025.

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.
